Add capability to resolve compression codec based on codec name
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7323
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: io
Affects Versions: 0.21.0
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
Fix For: 0.22.0
When setting up a compression codec in an MR job the full class name of the
codec must be used.
To ease usability, compression codecs should be resolved by their codec name
(ie 'gzip', 'deflate', 'zlib', 'bzip2') instead their full codec class name.
Besides easy of use for Hadoop users who would use the codec alias instead the
full codec class name, it could simplify how HBase resolves loads the codecs.
