------------------------------------
Summary: Native-code implementation of bzip2 codec
Key: HADOOP-8462
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8462
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: io
Affects Versions: 0.23.1
Reporter: Govind Kamat
Fix For: 0.23.3
The bzip2 codec supplied with Hadoop is currently available only as a Java
implementation. A version that uses the system bzip2 library can provide
improved performance and a better memory footprint. This will also make it
feasible to utilize alternative bzip2 libraries that may perform better for
specific jobs.
