Hi all,
I am planning to compress my Hive tables in LZO and I have a few questions:


1)      Is there a point to compress both SequenceFile and TextFile formats ?



2)      Before an INSERT command I set up the following variables :
SET hive.exec.compress.output=true
SET io.seqfile.compression.type=BLOCK
SET mapred.output.compress=true
SET mapred.output.compression.codec=com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzopCodec

Is that enough to ensure LZO compression or do I need to specify something else 
when I create my tables ?


3)      Do I need to use the LZOIndexer externally or will Hive do it for me 
automatically ?


4)      Do I need to set up something else to make sure that Hive will use the 
LZO index to split my tables for read operations ?


Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Michael
