Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2128:
-----------------------------------------
Hey Ted,
What is the logic behind the formula for calculating the new compression ratio?
> HDFS Sink rollSize is calculated based off of uncompressed size of cumulative
> events.

> The hdfs sink rollSize parameter is compared against uncompressed event sizes.
> The net of this is that if you are using compression and expect the size of
> your files on HDFS to be rolled/sized based on the value set for rollSize
> than your files will be much smaller due to compression.
> We should take into account when compression is set and roll based on the
> compressed size on hdfs.
