@InterfaceAudience.Public @InterfaceStability.Stable public class SequenceFile extends Object
SequenceFiles are flat files consisting of binary key/value
pairs.
SequenceFile provides SequenceFile.Writer,
SequenceFile.Reader and SequenceFile.Sorter classes for writing,
reading and sorting respectively.
SequenceFile Writers based on the
SequenceFile.CompressionType used to compress key/value pairs:
Writer : Uncompressed records.
RecordCompressWriter : Record-compressed files, only compress
values.
BlockCompressWriter : Block-compressed files, both keys &
values are collected in 'blocks'
separately and compressed. The size of
the 'block' is configurable.
The actual compression algorithm used to compress key and/or values can be
specified by using the appropriate CompressionCodec.
The recommended way is to use the static createWriter methods
provided by the SequenceFile to chose the preferred format.
The SequenceFile.Reader acts as the bridge and can read any of the
above SequenceFile formats.
Essentially there are 3 different formats for SequenceFiles
depending on the CompressionType specified. All of them share a
common header described below.
CompressionCodec class which is used for
compression of keys and/or values (if compression is
enabled).
SequenceFile.Metadata for this file.
100 kilobytes or so.
100 kilobytes or so.
The compressed blocks of key lengths and value lengths consist of the actual lengths of individual keys/values encoded in ZeroCompressedInteger format.
