title: Store images/videos into Hadoop HDFS
body: <p>I would like to store some videos/images into Hadoop <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Hadoop#Hadoop_distributed_file_system" rel="noreferrer">HDFS</a>, but I heard that HDFS accepts only files like as a text.</p>
  
  <p>To be sure, can we store videos/images into HDFS? If yes, what's the way or the steps to follow to do that?</p>
