[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-2501) Implement utility-tools for working with SequenceFiles

["Owen O'Malley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2501?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12554923 ] 

Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2501:
---------------------------------------

The data can be extracted via:

{code}
bin/hadoop fs -text blah.seq
{code}

Head is obviously done trivially using the unix head command.

> It would be nice to implement a bunch of utilities to work with SequenceFiles:
>  * info (print-out header information such as key/value types, compression type/codec etc.)
>  * cat
>  * head/tail
>  * merge multiple seq-files into one
>  * ...
> I'd imagine this would look like:
> {noformat}
> $ bin/hadoop seq -info /user/joe/blah.seq
> $ bin/hadoop seq -head -n 10 /user/joe/blah.seq
> {noformat}
