Hey Folks, No luck on IRC; trying here:
I was playing around with 0.20.x and SequenceFileOutputFormat. The documentation doesn't specify any particular file encoding but I had just assumed that it was some sort of raw binary format. I see, after inspecting the output that it was a false assumption... the file encoding appears to be ascii hex pairs with space delimiters. Is this accurate? After trolling the javadocs somemore, I found SequenceFileAsBinaryOutputFormat but that class doesn't appear to have an analog in the new o.a.h.mapreduce API. Is it just not ported or am i missing some other method of specifying file encoding in the new mapreduce APIs? Thanks, Bo
