> Hi Guys, 
> I'm facing a problem when using commons compress to extract an tar.gz file, which contains sparse file. I spent the whole afternoon on it but no luck.
>  
> The limitations page ([https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/limitations.html)] says sparse files are not supported.
> !image-2018-12-20-20-32-17-572.png!
> I found the issue created by Stepan (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-124) in 2013, says sparse files could only be skipped. 
>  
> Is there a plan to support extracting sparse file in this project?
