Hey Mark,

Gzip codec creates extension .gzip, not .deflate (which is
DeflateCodec). You may want to re-check your settings.

Impala questions are best resolved at its current user and developer
community at https://groups.google.com/a/cloudera.org/forum/#!forum/impala-=
user.
Impala does currently support LZO (and also Indexed LZO) compressed
text files however, so you may want to try that as its splittable
(compared to Gzip ones).
