> In steaming, the map command usually expect to receive it's input uninterpreted -- just as it is stored in DFS.
> However, the split (the beginning and the end of the portion of data that goes to a single map task) is often important and is not "any line break".
> Often the input consists of multi-line docments -- e.g. in XML.
> There should be a way to specify a pattern that separates logical records.
> Existing "Streaming XML record reader" kind of provides this functionality.  However, it is accepted that "Streaming XML" is a hack and needs to be replaced
