Tatu Saloranta commented on HADOOP-6389:
----------------------------------------
Hmmh. Looking at hadoop-commons compress package, I realize that hadoop
compressors are rather complicated beasts... it's bit like reading blueprint of
a lunar module or something. :-)
At least compared to relative simplicity of lzf codec to wrap within framework.
So I could use some help in figuring out best way to properly embed lzf in
there, including ability to support splitting.
> Add support for LZF compression

> Key: HADOOP-6389
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6389
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: io
> Reporter: Tatu Saloranta

> (note: related to [HADOOP-4874])
> As per Doug's earlier comments, LZF does indeed look like a good compressor
> candidate for fast compression/decompression, good enough compression rate.
> From my testing it seems at least twice as fast at compression, and somewhat
> faster for decompressing than gzip.
> Code from
> [http://h2database.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/h2/src/main/org/h2/compress/] is
> applicable, and I have tested it with json data.
> I hope to have more to spend on this in near future, but if someone else gets
> to this first that'd be good too.
