Answer: D
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.
