AvroOutputFormat doesn't support compression even though documentation claims
it does
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SQOOP-428
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-428
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: docs
Affects Versions: 1.4.0-incubating
Reporter: Lars Francke
Priority: Minor
The documentation claims that Avro files can be compressed as well:
{quote}
By default, data is not compressed. You can compress your data by using the
deflate (gzip) algorithm with the -z or --compress argument, or specify any
Hadoop compression codec using the --compression-codec argument. This applies
to SequenceFile, text, and Avro files.
{quote}
This is not true as the AvroOutputFormat currently doesn't support compression.
