> MR jobs sometimes want to just output lines of text, not key/value pairs.  TextOutputFormat handles this by, if a null value is given, outputting only the key with no separator.  Streaming jobs are unable to take advantage of this, because they can't output null values.  A text output format that ignores values and only outputs keys would allow streaming jobs to output lines of text.
