Custom MapReduce Jobs

Cascading supports custom Hadoop MapReduce jobs.

This allows developers to continue using existing MapReduce jobs along side new Cascading Flows.

In tandem with the Topological Scheduler, Cascading can take any number of custom MapReduce jobs and schedule them by their dependencies, even if Cascading is not used to define and execute new process workflows.

This feature will be released in version 0.7.0, but is available now in svn.
