Lars Francke commented on SQOOP-428:
------------------------------------
Hey,
thanks for the hint. I only tried 20 and 23, sorry. The problem is that 1.0.0
doesn't support Snappy compression out of the box so the test that uses it
fails. Because I can't figure out an easy way right now to check for the
availability I'll just remove the test. I guess that doesn't need a new review?
I'll attach the patch shortly, just running tests against all three versions
now. 23 fails because of MAPREDUCE-3736 but it succeeded earlier.

> 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.
