Is there any way to check if a seqfile is corrupted without iterate over all
its keys/values till it crashes?
I've seen that I can get an IOException when opening it or an IOException
reading the X key/value (depending on when it was corrupted).  
Thanks in advance

No it does not seem possible to know if a file is damaged without
reading it (logically).

Hadoop dfs -text xxxxxx ; echo $?

Should give you non zero but that still involves reading the file.
