Re: Problem in Input Format Class

[Harsh J <ha...@cloudera.com>]

Arsalan,

This isn't a HBase question. This belongs on
mapreduce-user@hadoop.apache.org lists. I'm moving it there, and lets
carry on on that list. I've added you to cc in case you are not
subscribed to the mentioned list :)

Also, to reply to your original question - No, there isn't anything in
Hadoop core's Java APIs that lets you do this 'essential' task. It
would be useful to have a delimited text input format, if you'd like
to contribute one. Perhaps use OpenCSV or such a library for good
extensibility over delimited files.

For the record, Pig and Hive have support for such needs in them
natively, and you can use these downstream libraries to get down and
dirty with your data quickly.
