--------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Stale
> sequencefiles without keys
> --------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2922
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2922
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma
>
> sequencefiles are invaluable for storing compressed/binary data. but when we
> use them to store serialized records - we don't use the key part at all (just
> put something dummy there to satisfy the api). i have heard of other projects
> using the same tactics (jaql/cascading).
> so this is a request to have a modified version of sequencefiles that don't
> incur the space and compute overhead of processing/storing these dummy keys.
