[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-1713) Create a utility to convert binary (sequence and compressed) files to strings.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1713?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1713.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

The {{hadoop fs -text}} shell utility does just this, with detection.

Looks like it was added after '07, and this appears to be a stale ticket now. Marking this as 'fixed'.

> 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.
