Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-1501:
-------------------------------------
Ashutosh,
The reason it is off by default is because the default compression is gzip
which is really slow and most of the time not what you want. Because of the
licensing issue with lzo, users need to setup it on their own. Once they do the
setup, they can enable the compression.
> need to investigate the impact of compression on pig performance
