1 概述
1 SequenceFile是Hadoop为例存储二进制的<k,v>而设计的一种平面文件。 2 SequenceFile的key和value是writable或者writable子类。 3 SequenceFile的存储不按照key排序，内部类Writer提供了append方法。 4 SequenceFile作为一个容器，可以将小文件打包到SequenceFile，高效对小文件进行存储和处理。
2 压缩类型
根据CompressionType的不同，有如下压缩类型 NONE：不压缩。每个记录有key长度、value长度、key、value组成，长度字段分别为4字节。 RECORD: 记录压缩。结构与NONE非常类似，用定义在头部的编码器压缩value，key不压缩。 BLOCK:块压缩。一次压缩多条记录，当记录字节数达到一个阈值则天际到块，io.seqfile.compress.blocksize控制。格式为：记录数，键长度，键，值长度，值。
分别对应Writer：
Writer : Uncompressed recordsRecordCompressWriter : Record-compressed files, only compress valuesBlockCompressWriter : Block-compressed files, both keys & values are collected in 'blocks' separately and compressed. The size of the 'block' is configurable
3 特点
优点
1 支持基于record和block的压缩
2 支持splittable，能够为Mapreduce作为输入分片
3 修改简单，只需要按照业务逻辑修改，不要考虑具体存储格式
缺点
合并后的文件不易查看。hadoop fs -cat看不到，hadoop fs -text可以看到。
