[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-8064) Add capability so mesos can programmatically decode .zip, .tar, .gzip, and other common file compression schemes

["Andrew Schwartzmeyer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Andrew Schwartzmeyer commented on MESOS-8064:
---------------------------------------------

I second that suggestion. In fact, {{libarchive}} is what Microsoft used to bring [tar|https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/12/19/tar-and-curl-come-to-windows/] to Windows.

> Currently, the fetcher (on Windows) only deals with .zip files (not .tar, .gzip, or other common compression schemes). This is because the various compression programs don't exist on Windows.
> We should look at adding programmatic decompressors in Mesos so the fetcher can deal with any file type regardless of O/S.
