title: how to convert text files of size KB into Sequence File
body: <p>I have huge amount of data stored in HDFS, but the individual files are very small (KBs). So the MapReduce processing is taking a lot of time.</p>
  
  <p>Can I reduce the processing time? Will SequenceFile be a good option?</p>
  
  <p>Please provide some Java or MR code to convert multiple smaller text files into SequenceFile.</p>
