[jira] [Created] (MAPREDUCE-2602) Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter for TextInputFormat (for the old API)

Allow setting of end-of-record delimiter for TextInputFormat (for the old API)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-2602
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2602
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ahmed Radwan
            Assignee: Ahmed Radwan


Since there are users who are still using the old MR API, it will be useful to modify the org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LineRecordReader and org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat to be able to use custom (user-specified) end-of-record delimiters. This will make use of the LineReader improvement introduced in HADOOP-7096 that enables the LineReader to break lines at user-specified delimiters. 

Note: MAPREDUCE-2254 already added this improvement to the new API (but not the old API).
