Explanation

SequenceFile is a flat file consisting of binary key/value pairs. There are 3 different SequenceFile formats: Uncompressed key/value records. Record compressed key/value records - only 'values' are compressed here. Block compressed key/value records - both keys and values are collected in 'blocks' separately and compressed. The size of the 'block' is configurable.
