Hi All,

Is possible to customize the TextInputFormat in a way that it return the same line n times but with different keys, as for example it returns the same line but with different start positions?

Hi Riadh
        I'm not sure on the customization to achieve that goal, but it should be possible. But if your requirement is to output the same line n number of times as the map output, you don't need to go that way. Just call the outputCollector.collect() or context.write() within a loop in your map method. If you could post in your requirement then may be we can help you better.
