I have a pig script. If I don't set any codec for Map output for hadoop
cluster, no problem. Now I made the following compression settings, the job
failed and the error message is shown below. I guess there are some other
settings that should be correctly set together with using the compression. Im
using 0.20.1. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!
mapred-site.xml
<property>
<name>mapred.compress.map.output</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>mapred.map.output.compression.codec</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec</value>
</property>
