> Extend SequenceFile to provide MapFile function by storing index at the end
> of the file
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-603
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs

> MapFile increases the load on the name node as two files are created to
> provide a index file format. If SequenceFile were extended by storing the
> index at the end of the file, 1/2 of the files currently created for a
> map/reduce operation would be needed, reducing the load on the name node.
> Perhaps this is why Google implemented SSTable files in this manner. (SSTable
> files are functionally identical to Hadoop MapFiles) (see the paper on
> BigTable - section 4 "Building Blocks"
> http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html)
