I have generated an hdfs sequence file and it uses a 3rd party library's Writable, so when I try to show the text of the file by running hadoop fs -text /some/file/path, I get an error message saying:

text: java.io.IOException: WriableName can't load class: org.example.AnotherWritable

In this case, how do I go about using the -text command so it can resolve AnotherWritable

  • Do you have to use the `-text` command for what you're trying to achieve? If you're merely trying to show the contents of the file is `-cat` not sufficient? – Quetzalcoatl Apr 08 '13 at 14:20

    @Quetzalcoatl The file is a binary sequence file, running -cat just gives me binary output. – Jeff Storey Apr 08 '13 at 17:17
