Hive ignores key when reading sequence files?

[Bobby Rullo]

Hi there,

It seems that Hive ignores the key when reading hadoop sequence files.  
Is there a way to make it not do that?

If there's no way to do this with a 'stock' Hive build, could someone  
point me to the code that reads sequence files in Hive and I can have  
a go at it? It's sort of a show-stopper for us - we have a bunch of  
large files where the key field is important.
