Transparent compression in HDFS
-------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2115
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2115
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: data-node, hdfs client
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
In practice, we find that a lot of users store text data in HDFS without using
any compression codec. Improving usability of compressible formats like
Avro/RCFile helps with this, but we could also help many users by providing an
option to transparently compress data as it is stored.
