What kind of streaming are you trying. If you are running a map/reduce job and providing this as input then hadoop by default splits this file and streams to map/reduce script. Even if the script is not splittable hadoop can stream the file but I am assuming your file is made up of records. For example a 4G text file would be line separated. Thanks, Lohit
