Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-3315:
-----------------------------------

Was trying to make the minor changes stack suggested and found that tfile no 
longer applies to trunk due to the removal of Lzo codec by HADOOP-4874.

Given the performance advantage of lzo, it is probably not a good idea to 
abandon lzo support completely. Need to allow TFile to accept external Lzo 
codec implementation.

> SequenceFile's block compression format is too complex and requires 4 codecs
