Chris Douglas resolved HADOOP-2424.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
With the right header, the existing LzoCodec should be compatible with lzop. It
would probably be better implemented as an InputFormat/OutputFormat, anyway.
> lzop compatible CompressionCodec
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2424
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2424
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: io, native
> Reporter: Chris Douglas
>
> LzoCodec currently outputs at most {{io.compression.codec.lzo.buffersize}}
> (default 64k)- less the compression overhead- bytes per write (HADOOP-2402)
> in the following format:
> {noformat}
> [uncompressed block length(32)]
> [compressed block length(32)]
> [compressed block]
> {noformat}
> lzop (lzo-backed command-line utility) writes blocks in the following format:
> {noformat}
> [uncompressed block length(32)]
> [compressed block length (32)]
> [Adler-32|CRC-32 checksum of uncompressed block (32)]
> [Adler-32|CRC-32 checksum of compressed block (32)]
> [compressed block]
> {noformat}
> There's an additional ~32 byte header to the file. I don't know of a
> standard, but the lzop source should suffice.
> Since we're using ".lzo" as the default extension, it's worth considering
> being compatible with lzop, but not necessarily for all lzo-compressed
> blocks. For example, SequenceFiles should use the existing LzoCodec format.
