Compression related issues..!

hello, I want to use standard compression algorithms for data compression.
This would be possible by writing a code supporting map reduce. Also, there
is an utility or a class in hadoop api, that simply zips the data or files
while emitting keys-values pairs. But, How much does it help? It won;t
compress to much extent-I guess.

How to proceed with map reduce and compression, which algorithms to be
supported, and things like that.

Please reply as per.
