Rahul-da I found bz2 pretty slow (although splittable) so I switched to snappy (only sequence files are splittable but compress-decompress is fast)

You might want to use bz2 , these are splittable.

These are not splittableā¦Unless u have to read multilines (like lines between a BEGIN and END block in a log file) and send it as one record to the mapper Also in Non-splitable Snappy Codec is better Good Luck sanjay From: samir das mohapatra <samir.help...@gmail.com<mailto:samir.help...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org>" <user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org>> Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 9:07 PM To: "cdh-u...@cloudera.com<mailto:cdh-u...@cloudera.com>" <cdh-u...@cloudera.com<mailto:cdh-u...@cloudera.com>>, "user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org>" <user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org>>, "user-h...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user-h...@hadoop.apache.org>" <user-h...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user-h...@hadoop.apache.org>> Subject: Now give .gz file as input to the MAP Hi All, Did any one worked on, how to pass the .gz file as file input for mapreduce job ?
