[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8570) Bzip2Codec should accept .bz files too

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8570?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13704029#comment-13704029 ]

--------------------------------------------

Hi,
I attach the patch file which added a method to define the additional extensions to CompressionCodec. This method getOtherExtensions() defines the additional extensions in comma-separated value, and defines null when there is not additional extension.

> The default extension reported for Bzip2Codec today is ".bz2". This causes it not to pick up .bz files as Bzip2Codec files. Although the extension is not very popular today, it is still mentioned as a valid extension in the bunzip manual and we should support it.
> We should change the Bzip2Codec default extension to "bz", or we should add in a new extension list support to allow for better detection across various aliases.
