2. XML creates an XML document of the fsimage and includes all of the
information within the fsimage, similar to the lsr processor. The
information within the fsimage. The
output of this processor is amenable to automated processing and
analysis with XML tools. Due to the verbosity of the XML syntax,
this processor will also generate the largest amount of output.

delimiter. The default delimiter is \t, though this may be changed via
the -delimiter argument.
5. ReverseXML (experimental): This is the opposite of the XML processor;
it reconstructs an fsimage from an XML file. This processor makes it easy to
create fsimages for testing, and manually edit fsimages when there is
corruption.

-------------------
Due to the internal layout changes introduced by the ProtocolBuffer-based fsimage ([HDFS-5698](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5698)), OfflineImageViewer consumes excessive amount of memory and loses some functions such as Indented and Delimited processor. If you want to process without large amount of memory or use these processors, you can use `oiv_legacy` command (same as `oiv` in Hadoop 2.3).
