Hi, I have a question regarding using sequence file input format in hadoop streaing jar with mappers and reducers written in python.
If i use sequence file as input format for streaming jar and use mappers written in python, can I take care of serialization and de-serialization in mapper/reducer code ? For eg, if i have complex data-types in sequence file's values, can I de-serialize them in python and run map-red job using streaming jar. Thanks in advance, -JJ
