----------------------------------------------------
[~indrajeetapache], [~cutting] quick ping here.
Any chance of waking up this issue from its deep slumber?
If the previous work done on this issue is too dusty, as [~harisekhon] said
there is a 3rd party format here:
https://github.com/cotdp/com-cotdp-hadoop/tree/master/src/main/java/com/cotdp/hadoop
With the associated blog post:

We'd all be terribly grateful :)

> HDFS is inefficient with large numbers of small files. Thus one might pack
> many small files into large, compressed, archives. But, for efficient
> map-reduce operation, it is desireable to be able to split inputs into
> smaller chunks, with one or more small original file per split. The zip
> format, unlike tar, permits enumeration of files in the archive without
> scanning the entire archive. Thus a zip InputFormat could efficiently permit
> splitting large archives into splits that contain one or more archived files.
