And by that I mean is there an HDFS file type? I feel like I’m missing something. Let’s say I have a HUGE json file that I import into HDFS. Does it retain it’s JSON format in HDFS? What if it’s just random tweets I’m streaming. Is it kind of like a normal disk where there are all kinds of files sitting on disk in their own format it’s just that in HDFS they are spread out over nodes?
