Hong Tang updated HADOOP-3315:
------------------------------
Attachment: TFile Specification Final.pdf
The TFile specification.
TFile is an immutable <Key, Value> storage format. TFile is meant to replace
Sequence File. Comparing with Sequence File, TFile provides the features of
block compression, sorted and unsorted keys, block indexing (for sorted TFile
only), scan (bulk read), and application-level meta data. The data abstraction
and storage representation is language-neutral, which supports different
implementation in various languages (although this specification only describes
the API in Java).

> SequenceFile's block compression format is too complex and requires 4 codecs
