Ted Malaska created AVRO-1243:
---------------------------------
Summary: Support all compression codecs
Key: AVRO-1243
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1243
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.3
Reporter: Ted Malaska
Priority: Minor
I may be reading this wrong but at this time org.apache.avro.file.CodecFactory
only supports null, deflate, and snappy compression codecs.
I would like to change the fromString method to use
Class.forName(codec).newInstance(); after the codec was not found in the
REGISTERED map but before the AvroRuntimeException is thrown.
Here are some of my supporting thoughts
1. This should not interduce much slowness because it will only be called
initialize.
2. This will allow for support for GZip, BZip2, and LZO with out adding more
dependances to the maven pom file.
3. This will allow for a future Jiri I would like to do that would allow
AvroOutputFormat to be able to use the following configs:
mapred.output.compress and mapred.output.compression.codec
