Can we somehow read from the HDFS without converting it to local?

I need to reuse the O/P of my DFS file without copying to local. Is there a
way?

Hi
You can perhaps mount the hdfs to linux fs and then read directly. Check
this link : http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/MountableHDFS

Try using Hadoop fs -cat

E.g
Hadoop  fs -cat  <filename>
