How to use MapReduce to parse a Json file? - json

Question

Im new to json format. And Im trying to learn how to parse a Json file and pick up the data in it using a MapReduce programming model. Is there any Json Parser that can read multiple lines in records.
Here is my possible & maximum number of elements that be present in my Json file:
{
"type": "",
"format": "",
"version": "",
"id": "",
"start": "",
"cp": "",
message:{ "proto": "","protoVer": "","cliIP": "","reqPort": "","reqHost": "","reqMethod": "","reqPath": "","reqQuery": "","reqCT": "","reqLen": "","sslVer": "","status": "","redirURL": "","respCT": "","respLen": "","bytes": "","UA": "","fwdHost":},
reqHdr:{"accEnc": "","accLang": "","auth": "","cacheCtl": "","conn": "","contMD5": "","cookie": "","DNT": "","expect": "","ifMatch": "","ifMod": "","ifNone": "","ifRange": "","ifUnmod": "","range": "","referer": "","te": "","upgrade": "","via": "","xFrwdFor": "","xReqWith": ""},
"respHdr": {"accRange": "","allowOrigin": "","age": "","allow": "","cacheCtl": "","conn": "","contEnc": "","contLang": "","contMD5": "","contDisp": "","contRange": "","date": "","eTag": "","expires": "","lastMod": "","link": "","p3p": "","retry": "","server": "","trailer": "","transEnc": "","vary": "","via": "","warning": "","wwwAuth": "","xPwrdBy": "","setCookie": ""},
"netPerf": {"downloadTime": "","originName": "","originIP": "","originInitIP": "","originRetry": "","lastMileRTT": "","midMileLatency": "","netOriginLatency": "","lastMileBW": "","cacheStatus": "","firstByte": "","lastByte": "","asnum": "","network": "","netType": "","edgeIP": ""},
"geo": {"country": "","region": "","city": ""},
"waf" : {"logVer" : "1.0","ipRules" : "","appRules" : "","warn" : "","deny" : ""},
"content": {"custom_name": "custom_value"},
}
These are my sample values in the json file.
`{"type":"cloud_monitor","format":"default","version":"1.0","id":"71101cb85441995d11a43bb","start":"1413585245.921","cp":"254623","message":{"proto":"http","protoVer":"1.1","status":"403","cliIP":"23.79.231.14","reqPort":"80","reqHost":"ksd.metareactor.com","reqMethod":"GET","reqPath":"%2findex.php","reqQuery":"path%3d57%26product_id%3d49%26route%3d%255Cwinnt%255Cwin.ini%2500.","respCT":"text/html","respLen":"286","bytes":"286","UA":"mozilla-saturn","fwdHost":"origin-demo2-akamaized.scoe-sil.net"}`,

I have a Java Json Parser but I can use it to read a single line. How can I identify a multiple line record in a Json file and use it in the MapReduce code to extract the data.
My Json parser class:
String[] tuple = value.toString().split("\n");
try {
for(int i=0; i<tuple.length; i++) {
JSONObject jsonobj = new JSONObject(tuple[i]);
type = (String) jsonobj.get("type");
format = (String) jsonobj.get("format");
version = (String) jsonobj.get("version");
id = (String) jsonobj.get("id");
start = (String) jsonobj.get("start");
cp = (String) jsonobj.get("cp");
message = (String) jsonobj.get("message");
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Can anyone help me on writing code to read Json records which are in multiple lines in MapReduce ?
