Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-3315:
----------------------------------

    Description: SequenceFile's block compression format is too complex and requires 4 codecs to compress or decompress. It would be good to have a file format that only needs   (was: SequenceFile's block compression format is too complex and requires 4 codecs to compress or decompress. I would propose that we move to:

{code}
block 1
block 2
...
index
tail
{code}

where block is compressed, and contain:

{code}
key/value1: key len (vint), key, value len (vint), value
key/value 2
...
{code}

The index would be compressed and contain:

{code}
block 1: offset, first record idx
block 2: offset, first record idx
block 3: offset, first record idx:
...
{code}

and the tail would look like:

{code}
key class name
value class name
index kind (none, keys, keys+bloom filter)
format version
offset of tail
offset of index
{code}

Then extensions of this format would put more indexes between the last block and the start of the index. So for example, the first key of each block:

{code}
first key of block 1: key len (vint), key
first key of block 2
...
offset of start key index
{code}

Another reasonable extension of the key index would be a bloom filter of the keys:

{code}
bloom filter serialization
offset of bloom filter index start
{code}
