Jeff Zhang commented on PIG-1110: --------------------------------- Hi Richard, I checked your code and find that pig use the output file extension to determined whether the output should be compressed or non-compressed ( the code in trunk also do like this). I do not think this method is good enough, because it enforce user to add .bz2 to as the extension of output file. My suggestion is as follows: Add a new constructor to PigStorage like PigStorage(String delimiter, String extension) the extension indicate what file format user want to store > Handle compressed file formats -- Gz, BZip with the new proposal > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1110 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Richard Ding > Assignee: Richard Ding > Attachments: PIG-1110.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
