Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-1713:
-------------------------------------------
Please take a look at utilities in HADOOP-175 - they don't contain the said
format detector, but could provide the "meat" of the toString()
implementation...
> Create a utility to convert binary (sequence and compressed) files to strings.

> It would be nice to have a utility that looked at the first N bytes of a file
> and picked a decoder for it into Strings. It could then be hooked up to
> "bin/hadoop fs cat" and the web/ui to textify sequence and compressed files.
