Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-1381:
---------------------------------------
The current setup forces all non-block compressed sequence files to accept a 1%
overhead for sync bytes. That is a fair amount of overhead on 100tb... Block
compressed sequence files do just fine with 1mb between sync blocks.
> The distance between sync blocks in SequenceFiles should be configurable
> rather than hard coded to 2000 bytes

> Currently SequenceFiles put in sync blocks every 2000 bytes. It would be much
> better if it was configurable with a much higher default (1mb or so?).
