It can even be a bytearray. Basically I have a bunch of files, and I want
one file -> one row. Is there an easy way to do this? Or will I need to
provide a special fileinputformat etc?

I think you will need to implement a RecordReader/InputFormat of your own
for this and use it with a LoadFunc. Not sure if Hadoop has a Reader that
you could re-use for this.

How do you handle the case when a file exceeds block size?

Hello Jonathan,
        Have a look at Hadoop's WholeFileInputFormat..Might fit into
your requirements.
