Hi Guys,
I want to read binary data (produced by a C program) that is copied to HDFS
using a java program. The idea is that I would write a map-reduce job
eventually that would use the aforementioned programs output(the java program
would read binary data and create a Java object which the map function would
use). I read about the sequence file format that hadoop supports but converting
the binary data using java serialization into sequence file format would add
another layer of complexity. Is there a simple no frills API that I can use to
read binary data directly from HDFS. Any help/resources would be deeply
appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Amritanshu
