Jason Lowe updated HADOOP-8462:
-------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
Jenkins is running into the same problem I did -- the bzip2 devel package isn't
available.
Can we change this so it builds with bzip2 native support upon request? That
way we aren't adding another required dependency for Hadoop native builds,
rather an optional dependency if people want the native support. I'm thinking
along the lines of what was done for Snappy and fuse in HADOOP-8620.

> 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.
