> Lots of streaming applications process textual data with 1 record per line and fields separated by a delimiter. It turns out that there is no point in using any of Hadoop's input/output formats since the streaming script/binary itself will parse the input and break into records and fields. In such cases we should provide users with a binary input/output format which just sends 64k (or so) blocks of data directly from HDFS to the streaming application.
> I did something very similar for Pig-Streaming (PIG-94 - BinaryStorage) which resulted in 300%+ speedup for scanning (identity mapper & map-only jobs) data... the parsing done by input/output formats in these cases were pure-overhead.
