Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-175: ------------------------------------------ Actually, I may have misled you by the poor choice of class names ... come to think of that, the subject is not too clear either. These two utilities started as readers of SequenceFile and MapFile, but now they read SequenceFileOutputFormat and MapFileOutputFormat ... so if anything I think their place is in the main methods of these classes. I could add similar main() methods to SequenceFile.Reader and MapFile.Reader while I'm here ... > Utilities for reading SequenceFile and MapFile > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-175 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-175 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Improvement > Components: io > Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki > Priority: Minor > Attachments: patch.txt > > Most data in Hadoop is stored in SequenceFile-s and MapFile-s.
