Doug Cutting reassigned HADOOP-7076: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Niels Basjes > Splittable Gzip > --------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7076 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7076 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: io > Reporter: Niels Basjes > Assignee: Niels Basjes > Attachments: HADOOP-7076.patch > > > Files compressed with the gzip codec are not splittable due to the nature of > the codec. > This limits the options you have scaling out when reading large gzipped input > files. > Given the fact that gunzipping a 1GiB file usually takes only 2 minutes I > figured that for some use cases wasting some resources may result in a > shorter job time under certain conditions. > So reading the entire input file from the start for each split (wasting > resources!!) may lead to additional scalability. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
