Lars George commented on HBASE-2225:
------------------------------------

+1

I have done the same in the past and can confirm the implicit support by the InputFormat. I added it like this

{code}
    // set output stream compression
    if (params.get(CONF_COMPRESS) != null) {
      job.set("mapred.output.compress", "true");
      job.set("mapred.output.compression.codec", "org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec");
    }
{code}

where CONF_COMPRESS is a simple command line switch. This is mapred code so Ted's code is more current and can be used as is.

Ted, you want to make a patch? If not I can add it as well. Let me know.

> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export should set compression codec
> In createSubmittableJob(), the following should be added:
>     FileOutputFormat.setCompressOutput(job, true);
>     FileOutputFormat.setOutputCompressorClass(job, org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec.class);
> From my experiment, 10% to 50% reduction in Export output has been observed.
> SequenceFileInputFormat used by the Import tool is able to detect GzipCodec - there is no change for Import class.
