Ruslan Dautkhanov commented on HADOOP-13340:
--------------------------------------------
I'd say the former approach (transparent compression) would be much more
useful. And yes compressing multiple files would give much better compression
especially when those are tiny files. I just thought that compressing
individual files is easier to implement.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Duc Le Tu
> Labels: features, performance
>
> Why Hadoop Archive tool cannot compress output like other map-reduce job?
> I used some options like -D mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true
> -D
> mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec
> but it's not work. Did I wrong somewhere?
> If not, please support option for compress output of Hadoop Archive tool,
> it's very neccessary for data retention for everyone (small files problem and
> compress data).
