How to uncompress a zip file which is stored in HDFS?

[#1]

I have a zip folder stored in HDFS containing multiple video files. I want to unzip  the folder in HDFS and want to access individual video file.

Can someone help me to find the solution for this?

You cannot directly unzip the files in HDFS. You would have to uncompress the files on local and then place it on HDFS.

You can use Hue which uses a shell action in oozie to automate this. The files are uncompressed in the local and then uploaded to HDFS.
