Hi, I've tried using sqoop import with Avro and it works beautifully. But I've tried it with compression which according to the documentation should work. It didn't for me so before I go any further: Is this a problem in the documentation?
I briefly looked at the AvroOutputFormat and it doesn't do any compression as far as I can tell. The job.xml is certainly correct in that it mentions mapred.output.compress=true. Removing the --as-avrodatafile option gives me a compressed text file so I'm pretty sure I've got the command line right. Cheers, Lars
