Description

I need to read text files in different character encoding from UTF-8,
but I think TextInputFormat doesn't support such character encoding.

I suggest the TextInputFormat to support encoding settings like this.
conf.set("io.file.defaultEncoding", "MS932");

I will submit a patch candidate.
