GzipCodec/CompressionOutputStream resetState() fails to reset gzip header and CRC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6799
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6799
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: io
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
         Environment: Linux/x86-32, Java 1.6.0_15
            Reporter: Greg Roelofs
            Priority: Minor


    CompressionCodec gzip = new GzipCodec();
    Path fnHDFS = new Path(workDir, "concat" + gzip.getDefaultExtension());
    OutputStream out = localFs.create(fnHDFS);
    Compressor gzCmp = gzip.createCompressor();
    CompressionOutputStream gzOStm = gzip.createOutputStream(out, gzCmp);

    gzOStm.write("first gzip concat\n member\nwith three lines\n".getBytes());
    gzOStm.finish();
    gzOStm.resetState();
    gzOStm.write("2nd gzip concat member\n".getBytes());
    gzOStm.finish();
    gzOStm.resetState();
    gzOStm.write("gzip concat\nmember #3\n".getBytes());
    gzOStm.close();

This should create a 3-member concatenated gzip file (i.e., equivalent to concatenation of three individual gzip files).  However, resetState() simply resets the underlying deflate engine; it does not reset the running CRC-32, nor does it set a flag to write a new gzip header.  As a result, the output stream is corrupted--i.e., only the first member is readable.

I also have hex dumps, but they don't work well with proportional fonts.
