> The "hadoop fs" subcommand should offer options for batching, unbatching, compressing, and uncompressing files on hdfs.  The equivalent of "hadoop fs -tar" or "hadoop fs -gzip".  These commands would greatly facilitate moving large data (especially in a large number of files) back and forth from hdfs.
