> Currently, 'hadoop fs -text myfile' looks at the first few magic bytes of a
> file to determine whether it is gzip compressed or a sequence file. This
> means 'fs -text' cannot properly decode .deflate or .bz2 files (or other
> codecs specified via configuration).
> It should be fairly straightforward to add support for other codecs by
> checking the file extension against the CompressionCodecFactory to retrieve
> an appropriate Codec.
