sequencefiles without keys
--------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2922
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2922
Project: Hadoop Core
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.
