-----------------------------------------

> I think it is okay to allow BLOCK compression for linkdb, crawldb, crawl_*,
> content, parse_data. Because I don't think that people will need fast

>  on anything but parse_text.

LinkDb is accessed on-line randomly through LinkDbInlinks, when users request 
anchors. Similarly, parse_data is accessed when requesting "explain", and may 
be also accessed to retrieve other hit metadata. Content is accessed randomly 
when displaying cached preview. I think in all these cases we can use at most 
RECORD compression, or NONE.

> OutputFormat implementations should pass on Progressable

> OutputFormat implementations should pass the Progressable they are passed to 
> underlying SequenceFile implementations.  This will keep reduce tasks from 
> timing out when block writes are slow.  This issue depends on 
> http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-636.
