If the data is text you can always print out the sequence file using this command:
hadoop fs -text file:///my/directory/file.seq This will parse the sequence file, convert each key and value to a string and print it to stdout. Notice the file:// in the path, that will cause hadoop to access the local file system. -Joey On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 5:04 AM, ling cao <ling.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi > i have a small sequence file (about 1k) which is produced by a hive job, and > i need to parse it in my local filesystem,not in hdfs > is there any easy way to do it ? > Thanks > > -- Joseph Echeverria Cloudera, Inc. 443.305.9434
