> This Jira is the first small step to unify the code related to the inputformat/record readers for streaming 
> with the Hadoop main framework.
> This Jira does a few things to clean up the related parts in the Hadoop main framework.
> 1. Add a constructor 
>        public LineRecordReader(Configuration job, FileSplit split)
> to LineRecordReader. This makes the constructors of both SequenceFileRecordReader and LineRecordReader
> have the same signature. This facilitates to have a factory class to create various record readers when 
> we bring in the class readers classes for hadoop streaming to the main framework.
> 2. Implementded next() method using the following newly added protected method to LineRecordReader class:
>      protected long readLine() throws IOException {
>          return LineRecordReader.readLine(in, buffer);
>      }
>     This allows the user to easily overwrite the readLine logic to use different line breaker (e.g. treat '\r' as part of data, not line breaker).
> 3. Rename class InputFormatBase to FileInputFormat to better reflect the functionality of the class.
> To keep backward compatible, still keep InputFormatBase class, but make it deprecated shallow class simply inheriting FileInputFormat .
> 4. Change TextInputFormat and SequenceFileFormat to extend FileInputFormat.
