Alejandro Abdelnur updated HADOOP-7323:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-7323.patch
The codec alias is taken from the Codec short class name (classname without
package) after removing the 'Codec' postfix if present, else the full short
class name is used as alias.
The patch adds to the CompressionCodecFactory.getCodecByClassName()method an
alias lookup fallback if the codec class has not been found (this preserves
existing behavior).
The alias lookup is case-insensitive.
> Add capability to resolve compression codec based on codec name

>
> 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.
