Lars George commented on HBASE-2225:
------------------------------------

Looks like that is the same check in Hadoop 0.20.1, so it must be due to my 
local setup. Ted, care to test the change? Otherwise I tested it with various 
command line arguments and it works as expected.

> 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.
