Tim Sears created BEAM-683:
------------------------------
Summary: Make BZIP compressed files splittable
Key: BEAM-683
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-683
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Tim Sears
Priority: Minor
Bzip2 is compressed as blocks, so it should be possible to do dynamic
splitting. To do this: Seek to a location in the bzip, then keep seeking until
you find the 6 byte block-start sequence 0x314159265359 (which is the 12 digit
approximation of pi). You can use a bzip2 decompressor from that point onwards.
