Nick White created AVRO-1373:
--------------------------------
Summary: Add A XZ Codec
Key: AVRO-1373
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1373
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Nick White
Assignee: Nick White
Attachments: xz-codec.patch
The java Avro projects already depend on the commons-library; the attached
patch adds support for the XZ codec using classes from it. I've also refactored
some of the duplicated code in the tools project (the code that deals with the
--codec and --level options) by moving a single copy to the Util class, and
calling that from the various tools that produce Avro files.
The XZ codec by default uses the LZMA2 algorithm to compress files - this
produces noticeably smaller files than the current bzip2 or deflate codecs.
