[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1851) Map output compression codec cannot be set independently of job output compression codec

["Arun C Murthy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1851:
---------------------------------------

As Riccardo says we clearly need another configuration property... how about:

Map Outputs:
mapred.map.output.compression.{type|codec}
JobConf.{get|set}MapOutputCompression{Type|Codec}

Job Outputs:
mapred.output.compression.{type|codec}
JobConf.{get|set}OutputCompression{Type|Codec}

That's the easy bit, however I think that this will snow-ball into a large-ish patch since this will entail hunting down all {{OutputFormat}} implementations and ensuring that they use mapred.output.compression.{type|codec} properties... clearly something we *have* to fix. Of course, I'll ensure this is clearly documented for folks who write their own {{OutputFormat}}s.

> The property "mapred.output.compression.codec" is used when setting and getting the map output compression codec in JobConf, thus making it impossible to use a different codec for map outputs and overall job outputs.
