Pipes should be ported to the new mapreduce API
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1362
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1362
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: pipes
            Reporter: Bassam Tabbara
             Fix For: 0.20.2


Pipes is still currently using the old mapred API. This prevents us from using 
pipes with HBase's TableInputFormat, HRegionPartitioner, etc. 

Here is a rough proposal for how to accomplish this:

* Add a new package org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.pipes that uses the new mapred 
API.
* the new pipes package will run side by side with the old one. old one should 
get deprecated at some point.
* the wire protocol used between PipesMapper and PipesReducer and C++ programs 
must not change.
* bin/hadoop should support both pipes (old api) and pipes2 (new api)

Does this sound reasonable?
