[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1722) Make streaming to handle non-utf8 byte array

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1722?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12856491#action_12856491 ] 

Hudson commented on HADOOP-1722:
--------------------------------

Integrated in Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk #285 (See [http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk/285/])
    MAPREDUCE-889. binary communication formats added to Streaming by HADOOP-1722 should be documented. Contributed by Klaas Bosteels.

> Right now, the streaming framework expects the output sof the steam process (mapper or reducer) are line 
> oriented UTF-8 text. This limit makes it impossible to use those programs whose outputs may be non-UTF-8
>  (international encoding, or maybe even binary data). Streaming can overcome this limit by introducing a simple
> encoding protocol. For example, it can allow the mapper/reducer to hexencode its keys/values, 
> the framework decodes them in the Java side.
> This way, as long as the mapper/reducer executables follow this encoding protocol, 
> they can output arabitary bytearray and the streaming framework can handle them.
