As we know sequence file are binary files with key/value pair specially build for hadoop. If we want to read file on hadoop we have option of cat which will not show the output of sequence or compressed file correctly in this case we can use -text option with hadoop command which follows:
hadoop fs -text <file path name/filename>
which will show they correct output of the sequence file content.
hadoop fs -text <file path name/filename>
which will show they correct output of the sequence file content.
