Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-157:
----------------------------------------

I will move the Avro port of this to MAPREDUCE-980.  I do not want to impede 
progress here.

> Doug, so your patch will store binary AVRO?

Yes.  Avro 1.0 (the current release) only supports binary.

Avro 1.1 (out today if it can get one more PMC +1, please) adds JSON i/o.
Printing the log as JSON will be easy if I can upgrade Hadoop to Avro 1.1 in 
MAPREDUCE-980.


> Job History log file format is not friendly for external tools.

> Currently, parsing the job history logs with external tools is very difficult 
> because of the format. The most critical problem is that newlines aren't 
> escaped in the strings. That makes using tools like grep, sed, and awk very 
> tricky.
