Hi guys,

I wanted to take in file with input : <key1><value1><key2><value2>......
binary sequence file (key and value length are constant) as input for the
Sort (examples) . But as I understand the data in a standard Sequencefile of
hadoop is in the format : <Recordlength><Keylength><Key><Value>..... . Where
should I modify the code so as to use my inputfile as input to the
recordreader.

Please pour in your views ..

Matthew
