Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1713.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
The {{hadoop fs -text}} shell utility does just this, with detection.
Looks like it was added after '07, and this appears to be a stale ticket now.
Marking this as 'fixed'.
> Create a utility to convert binary (sequence and compressed) files to strings.

> It would be nice to have a utility that looked at the first N bytes of a file
> and picked a decoder for it into Strings. It could then be hooked up to
> "bin/hadoop fs cat" and the web/ui to textify sequence and compressed files.
