[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8876) SequenceFile default compression is RECORD, not BLOCK

Harsh J created HADOOP-8876:
-------------------------------

             Summary: SequenceFile default compression is RECORD, not BLOCK
                 Key: HADOOP-8876
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8876
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: io
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Harsh J


Currently both the SequenceFile writer and the MR defaults for SequenceFile compression default to RECORD type compression, while most recommendations are to use BLOCK for smaller end sizes instead.

Should we not change the default?
