Hi Techy Try using hadoop fs -text <full path of file in hdfs>
That should give the output in some readable format.

But when I try to open this file using hadoop fs -cat, I see some weird characters in that file, but I can also see my output too. So before viewing this file, I need to decompress it in any format and then I need to do the cat? If yes, then how should I decompress this file? /apps/hdmi/ldata/dt=20120709/attempt_201207311206_11141_r_000000_0
