Dear Sir/Madam,

                I am Nitesh kaushik, working with institution dealing in
satellite images. I am trying to read bulk images
                using Hadoop but unfortunately that is not working, i am not
getting any clue how to work with images in hadoop
                Hadoop is working great with text files and producing good
results.

                 Please tell me how can i deal with image data in hadoop.
Regards
Nitesh

The typical problems with using images are:

a) If you are using streaming, you'll likely need to encode the file or upgrade to a version of hadoop that support binary streams over streaming.

b) Either need a custom InputFormat or set the split size to match the file size.
