I'm running Hadoop 0.20.203.0 with the default io.compression.codec value. When I try to do "hadoop fs -text" on a "*.deflate" file on HDFS it prints garbage to STDOUT. Presumably the file is not being decompressed.
Is this version of Hadoop supposed to automatically decompress *.deflate files? The impression I got from HADOOP-6714 "FsShell 'hadoop fs -text' does not support compression codecs"<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6714> is that this has been resolved for the version I am running.
