-----------------------------------------
The Hadoop-QA test failures above are not related to the submitted patch.
> Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter for TextInputFormat (for the old API)

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2602
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> Since there are users who are still using the old MR API, it will be useful
> to modify the org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LineRecordReader and
> org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat to be able to use custom
> (user-specified) end-of-record delimiters. This will make use of the
> LineReader improvement introduced in HADOOP-7096 that enables the LineReader
> to break lines at user-specified delimiters.
> Note: MAPREDUCE-2254 already added this improvement to the new API (but not
> the old API).
