> Add support for scanning DEFLATE text files
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-8549
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8549
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Backend
> Reporter: Sahil Takiar
> Assignee: Ethan
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: ramp-up
>
> Several Hadoop tools (e.g. Hive, MapReduce, etc.) support reading and writing
> text files stored using zlib / deflate (results in files such as
> {{000000_0.deflate}}). Impala currently does not support reading {{.deflate}}
> files and returns errors such as: {{ERROR: Scanner plugin 'DEFLATE' is not
> one of the enabled plugins: 'LZO'}}.
> Moreover, the default compression codec in Hadoop is zlib / deflate (see
> {{o.a.h.io.compress.DefaultCodec}}). So when writing to a text table in Hive,
> if users set {{hive.exec.compress.output}} to true, then {{.deflate}} files
> will be written by default.
> Impala does support zlib / deflate with other file formats though: Avro,
> RCFiles, SequenceFiles (see
> https://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_file_formats.html).
