Map outputs can't have a different type of compression from the reduce outputs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-647 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-647 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Improvement Components: mapred Affects Versions: 0.7.2 Reporter: Owen O'Malley Assigned To: Owen O'Malley Fix For: 0.8.0 Attachments: map-out-compress-type.patch Right now there is only a single knob to control the compression type for sequence files. Sorting and merging is faster with record compression, but the files are smaller with block compression. I'd like to introduce a mapOutputCompressionType that lets the application control how the map outputs are compressed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
