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. > Enable compression in HBase Export > ---------------------------------- > > 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 > Assignee: Lars George > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HBASE-2225-trunk.patch > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
