Praveenesh, The utility "hadoop fs -text <seqfile>", documented at http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/file_system_shell.html#text can read SequenceFiles and print their string representations out. Will this be of any help?
Otherwise, you want to use a SequenceFile.Reader over your given file and after reading each record out, store them in their text representation with a regular file writer. An even easier way may be an identity job with sequence-file input format and text output format.
