Tom Panning created HDFS-6323: --------------------------------- Summary: Compress files in transit for fs -get and -put operations Key: HDFS-6323 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6323 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: hdfs-client Reporter: Tom Panning Priority: Minor
For the {{hadoop fs -get}} and {{hadoop fs -put}} commands, it would be nice if there was an option to compress the file(s) in transit. For some people, the Hadoop cluster is far away (in terms of the network) or must be accessed through a VPN, and many files that are put on or retrieved from the cluster are very large compared to the available bandwidth. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
