Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1851: --------------------------------------- As Riccardo says we clearly need another configuration property... how about: Map Outputs: mapred.map.output.compression.{type|codec} JobConf.{get|set}MapOutputCompression{Type|Codec} Job Outputs: mapred.output.compression.{type|codec} JobConf.{get|set}OutputCompression{Type|Codec} That's the easy bit, however I think that this will snow-ball into a large-ish patch since this will entail hunting down all {{OutputFormat}} implementations and ensuring that they use mapred.output.compression.{type|codec} properties... clearly something we *have* to fix. Of course, I'll ensure this is clearly documented for folks who write their own {{OutputFormat}}s. > Map output compression codec cannot be set independently of job output > compression codec > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1851 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1851 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.14.1 > Reporter: Riccardo > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > > The property "mapred.output.compression.codec" is used when setting and > getting the map output compression codec in JobConf, thus making it > impossible to use a different codec for map outputs and overall job outputs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
