> Key: MAPREDUCE-491
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-491
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Daehyun Kim
> Assignee: Daehyun Kim
> Priority: Minor

>
> Currently, the hadoop processes gzipped files with only one map.
> We have made a patch that enables multiple map tasks for one large gzipped
> file. We call the patch RAgzip.
> To process multiple map tasks for gzipped file, you may use RAgzip by just
> changing InputFormat to RAGZIPInputFormat.
> The option used in RAGZIPInputFormat can be found at the javadoc of
> RAGZIPInputFormat part.
> RAgzip uses zlib's inflatePrime function which supports random access on a
> gzipped file.
> Since the inflatePrime is supported from the version of 1.2.2.4, it requires
> zlib 1.2.2.4 or higher. (We tested on zlib 1.2.3)
> RAgzip requires the preprocessing step that creates an access point (.ap)
> file, which is like the index of the gzipped file chunks.
> The access point(.ap) file is located in same path of the gzipped file.
> If there is a "/user/hadoop/test.gz", the .ap file is created with
> "/user/hadoop/test.gz.ap".
