Review request for hadoop-common and hadoop-mapreduce.


Summary
-------

This patch allows users to specify custom end-of-record delimiter for TextInputFormat using a new added configuration property. For backward compatibility, if this new configuration property is absent, then the same exact previous delimiters are used (i.e., '\n', '\r' or '\r\n'). See also MAPREDUCE-2254.


This addresses bug HADOOP-7096.
