[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-474?page=all ]
Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-474:
---------------------------------
Attachment: text-gz-2.patch
This patch extends the previous patch:
1. the properties are added to the hadoop-default.xml
2. the SequenceFileOutputFormat now uses the same JobConf methods for
determining whether to compress the output and which codec to use
3. cleaned up the out of date TODOs in the SequenceFile stuff
4. created public static methods in CompressionCodecFactory to set/get the
set of codecs into a Configuration
5. created public static methods in SequenceFileOutputFormat to set/get the
CompressionType. Arguably, these should be in SequenceFile itself
I think having the [gs]etCompressOutput methods in JobConf is reasonable since
they are intended to be used by all of the OutputFormats.

> I'd like TextInputFomat and TextOutputFormat to automatically compress and
> uncompress text files when they are read and written. Furthermore, I'd like
> to be able to use custom compressors as defined in HADOOP-441. Therefore, I
> propose:
> Adding a map of compression codecs in the server config files:
> io.compression.codecs = "<suffix>=<codec class>,..."
> so the default would be something like:
> <property>
> <name>io.compression.codecs</name>
>
> <value>.gz=org.apache.hadoop.io.GZipCodec,.Z=org.apache.hadoop.io.ZipCodec</value>
> <description>A list of file suffixes and the codecs for them.</description>
> </property>
> note that the suffix can include multiple "." so you could support suffixes
> like ".tar.gz", but they are just treated as literals against the end of the
> filename.
> If the TextInputFormat is dealing with such a file, it:
> 1. makes a single split
> 2. decompresses automatically
> On the output side, if mapred.output.compress is true, then TextOutputFormat
> would use a new property mapred.output.compression.codec that would define
> the codec to use to compress the outputs, defaulting to gzip.
