Tom Panning commented on HDFS-6323:
-----------------------------------
If this feature would be of interest to the Hadoop community, I would be
interested in developing a patch to implement it.
> Compress files in transit for fs -get and -put operations

> Key: HDFS-6323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6323
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs-client
> Reporter: Tom Panning
> Priority: Minor
>
> For the {{hadoop fs -get}} and {{hadoop fs -put}} commands, it would be nice
> if there was an option to compress the file(s) in transit. For some people,
> the Hadoop cluster is far away (in terms of the network) or must be accessed
> through a VPN, and many files that are put on or retrieved from the cluster
> are very large compared to the available bandwidth.
