["Gabriel Reid (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-97?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13477263#comment-13477263 ] 

Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-97:
------------------------------------

Looks very cool. It would be good to add some javadoc to the Parse.Builder class methods, just to make it clear that they basically all map to java.util.Scanner parameters.

Also, what do you think of moving putting this in a new package: org.apache.crunch.lib.text? I'm not totally sure about that either way, but it just seems that everything else in o.a.c.lib is pretty generic, and this is specific to string data.

> We should make it a bit easier to parse delimited text files into specific data types (e.g., ints, floats, etc.) or combinations of types-- e.g., pairs of strings and ints, a Tuple3 of booleans, etc.
