So in such a case, Hadoop prepares only > one split per compressed file, where the lower split limit is at 0 while the > upper limit is the end of the file. The consequence of this decision is > that, one compress file goes to a single mapper. Although it circumvents the > limitation of codecs (as mentioned above) but reduces the parallelism > substantially, as it was possible otherwise in case of splitting. > BZip2 is a compression / De-Compression algorithm which does compression on > blocks of data and later these compressed blocks can be decompressed > independent of each other. This is indeed an opportunity that instead of one > BZip2 compressed file going to one mapper, we can process chunks of file in > parallel. The correctness criteria of such a processing is that for a bzip2 > compressed file, each compressed block should be processed by only one mapper > and ultimately all the blocks of the file should be processed. (By > processing we mean the actual utilization of that un-compressed data (coming > out of the codecs) in a mapper). > We are writing the code to implement this suggested functionality. Although > we have used bzip2 as an example, but we have tried to extend Hadoop's > compression interfaces so that any other codecs with the same capability as > that of bzip2, could easily use the splitting support. The details of these > changes will be posted when we submit the code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
