Hi,<br />
<br />
To process a mainframe file whose data is string except one filed which is 2 byte binary, where the 2 bytes needs to be ignored, what input format should be used.<br />
I tried as Text input format but the 2 bytes sometimes appear as single char or 2 char or none in windows and hdfs.<br />
Any suggestion in this regard pls.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
