If your are: 1. using TextInputFormat. 2.all input files are ends with certain suffix like ".gz" 3.the custom CompressionCodec already register in configuration and getDefaultExtension return the same suffix like as describe in 2.
the nothing else you need to do. hadoop will deal with it automatically. that means the input key&value in map method are already decompress. But,if the origin files dose not end with certain suffix,you need to write your own inputformat or subclass TextInputFormat , override the createRecordReader method which return your own RecordReader. the InputSplit pass to the InputFormat is actually FileInputSplit,which you can retrieve the input file path. you may also take a look at the isSplitable method declared in InputFormat,if your files are not splitable. for more detail,refer to the TextInputFormat class implementation.
