Doubt about SequenceFile.Writer

2010-02-07 Thread Andiana Squazo Ringa
Hi, I have written to a sideeffect file using SequenceFile.Writer . But when I cat the file, it is printing some unreadable characters . I did not use any compression code. Why is this so? Thanks, Ringa.

The SequenceFile is not text file, so you can not see the content by invoking unix command cat. But you can get the text content by using hadoop command : hadoop fs -text On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 8:51 AM, Andiana Squazo Ringa < andriana.ri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I have written to a sideef
