We have billions of XML message records stored on text files need to be parsed parallel by Spark. By default, Spark open a Hadoop text file using LineReader which provides a single line of text as a record. The XML messages contains "\n" and I believe it is a common scenario - many users have cross-line records. Currently, the solution is to the extend the interface RecordReader. To reduce the repeat work, I wrote a class named MessageRecordReader to extend the interface RecordReader, user can set a string as record delimiter, then MessageRecordReader provides a multiple line record to user. I would like to contribute the code to community. Please let me know if you are interested in this simple but useful implementation. Thank you very much and happy new year! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
