It is worth reading some implementations of already existing
InputFormat classes, such as the simple TextInputFormat, or the
SequenceFileInputFormat which also has a RecordReader implementation
in it.

You may find these source files in your downloaded Hadoop
distribution's src/ directory itself (in their appropriate packages).

I do not know of an article that has a complete, tutorial-based
approach to this (yet). Perhaps others would know!
