Ahmed Radwan updated MAPREDUCE-2254: ------------------------------------ Attachment: MAPREDUCE-2254_r2.patch > Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter for TextInputFormat > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2254 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2254 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ahmed Radwan > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-2245.patch, MAPREDUCE-2254_r2.patch > > > It will be useful to allow setting the end-of-record delimiter for > TextInputFormat. The current implementation hardcodes '\n', '\r' or '\r\n' as > the only possible record delimiters. This is a problem if users have embedded > newlines in their data fields (which is pretty common). This is also a > problem for other tools using this TextInputFormat (See for example: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-836 and > https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/SQOOP-136). > I have wrote a patch to address this issue. This patch allows users to > specify any custom end-of-record delimiter using a new added configuration > property. For backward compatibility, if this new configuration property is > absent, then the same exact previous delimiters are used (i.e., '\n', '\r' or > '\r\n'). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
