Hi, I'm running the wordcount example, but I would like compress the map output.
I set the following properties in the mapred-site.xml [code] <property> <name>mapred.compress.map.output</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>mapred.map.output.compression.codec</name> <value>gzip</value> </property> [/code] but I still got the error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Compression codec gzip was not found. at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf.getMapOutputCompressorClass(JobConf.java:512) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$MapOutputBuffer.(MapTask.java:846) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$NewOutputCollector.(MapTask.java:531) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runNewMapper(MapTask.java:627) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:343) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:190) I run the wordcount with the command: [code] bin/hadoop jar build/hadoop-0.20.2-dev-examples.jar wordcount gutenberg gutenberg-output [/code] How I set the compression in the map output? Thanks, -- Pedro
