hi all, I'm testing hadoop and hive, and I want to use them in log analysis.
Here I have a question, can I write/append log to an compressed file which is located in hdfs? Our system generate lots of log files every day, I can't compress these logs every hour and them put them into hdfs. But what if I want to write logs into files that was already in the hdfs and was compressed? Is these files were not compressed, then this job seems easy, but how to write or append logs into an compressed log? Can I do that? Can anyone give me some advices or give me some examples? Thank you very much! xiaobin
