New to Hadoop (now using 0.20.1), I want to know how to choose and set up compression methods for Map output, especially how to configure and use LZO compression? Specifically, please share your experience for the following 2 scenarios. Thanks!
(1) Is there a global setting in some hadoop configuration files for naming a compression method (e.g. LZO) such that it will be used to compress Map output by default? and how? (2) How to use a compression method (e.g. LZO) in java code (I noticed that in javadoc, org.apache.hadoop.mapred is labeld Deprecated)? Thanks! -- Michael
