Lars George commented on HBASE-2225:
------------------------------------
+1
I have done the same in the past and can confirm the implicit support by the
InputFormat. I added it like this
{code}
// set output stream compression
if (params.get(CONF_COMPRESS) != null) {
job.set("mapred.output.compress", "true");
job.set("mapred.output.compression.codec",
"org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec");
}
{code}
where CONF_COMPRESS is a simple command line switch. This is mapred code so
Ted's code is more current and can be used as is.
Ted, you want to make a patch? If not I can add it as well. Let me know.

> Key: HBASE-2225
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2225
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Environment: OS agnostic
> Reporter: Ted Yu
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h

> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export should set compression codec
> In createSubmittableJob(), the following should be added:
> FileOutputFormat.setCompressOutput(job, true);
> FileOutputFormat.setOutputCompressorClass(job,
> org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec.class);
> From my experiment, 10% to 50% reduction in Export output has been observed.
> SequenceFileInputFormat used by the Import tool is able to detect GzipCodec -
> there is no change for Import class.
