> Right now streaming input is specified very differently from other map-reduce input.  It would be good if these two apps could take much more similar input specs.
> In particular -input in streaming expects a file or glob pattern while MR takes a directory.  It would be cool if both could take a glob patern of files and if both took a directory by default (with some patern excluded to allow logs, metadata and other framework output to be safely stored).
> We want to be sure that MR input is backward compatible over this change.  I propose that a single file should be accepted as an input or a single directory.  Globs should only match directories if the paterns is '/' terminated, to avoid massive inputs specified by mistake.
> Thoughts?
