>                 Key: AVRO-1243
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1243
>             Project: Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.3
>            Reporter: Ted Malaska
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I may be reading this wrong but at this time org.apache.avro.file.CodecFactory only supports null, deflate, and snappy compression codecs.
> I would like to change the fromString method to use Class.forName(codec).newInstance(); after the codec was not found in the REGISTERED map but before the AvroRuntimeException is thrown. 
> Here are some of my supporting thoughts
> 1. This should not interduce much slowness because it will only be called initialize.
> 2. This will allow for support for GZip, BZip2, and LZO with out adding more dependances to the maven pom file.
> 3. This will allow for a future Jiri I would like to do that would allow AvroOutputFormat to be able to use the following configs: mapred.output.compress and mapred.output.compression.codec
