FsShell 'hadoop fs -text' does not support compression codecs
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6714
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6714
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Patrick Angeles
Currently, 'hadoop fs -text myfile' looks at the first few magic bytes of a
file to determine whether it is gzip compressed or a sequence file. This means
'fs -text' cannot properly decode .deflate or .bz2 files (or other codecs
specified via configuration).
It should be fairly straightforward to add support for other codecs by checking
the file extension against the CompressionCodecFactory to retrieve an
appropriate Codec.
