Lars Francke commented on SQOOP-428:
------------------------------------
I think I can provide a patch for this. The current AvroOutputFormat seems to
be a copy from the Avro project or a very similar one at least. So I ported a
newer version of it to Sqoop and changed all the package names etc. and it
works in my tests.
I'll need to package it up as a patch and probably write a test so I need to
figure out how those work first.

> Key: SQOOP-428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-428
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: docs
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0-incubating
> Reporter: Lars Francke
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: avro, document
>
> The documentation claims that Avro files can be compressed as well:
> {quote}
> By default, data is not compressed. You can compress your data by using the
> deflate (gzip) algorithm with the -z or --compress argument, or specify any
> Hadoop compression codec using the --compression-codec argument. This applies
> to SequenceFile, text, and Avro files.
> {quote}
> This is not true as the AvroOutputFormat currently doesn't support
> compression.
