Utkarsh Srivastava commented on HADOOP-1823:
--------------------------------------------
I has dropped the ball on this. But what is the next step? Does a hadoop
comitter take it from here, or is there something that Ben or I could do?
> want InputFormat for bzip2 files

> Key: HADOOP-1823
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1823
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mapred
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Attachments: bzip2.jar

>
> Unlike gzip, the bzip file format supports splitting. Compression is by
> blocks (900k by default) and blocks are separated by a synchronization marker
> (a 48-bit approximation of Pi). This would permit very large compressed
> files to be split into multiple map tasks, which is not currently possible
> unless using a Hadoop-specific file format.
