I recently added the following to my core-site.xml

<property>
<name>io.compression.codecs</name>
<value>
  org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec,
org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec,
org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.BZip2Codec
</value>
</property>

However when I try and test a simple MR job I am seeing the following 
errors in my log.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Compression codec
       org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec not found.

Aren't these codecs installed by default? If not, how would I enable them?

Thanks
