stack commented on HBASE-2225:
------------------------------

I think this should be an option.  How about adding it as a command-line flag or something to the export job?

> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Export should set compression codec
> In createSubmittableJob(), the following should be added:
>     FileOutputFormat.setCompressOutput(job, true);
>     FileOutputFormat.setOutputCompressorClass(job, org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec.class);
> From my experiment, 10% to 50% reduction in Export output has been observed.
> SequenceFileInputFormat used by the Import tool is able to detect GzipCodec - there is no change for Import class.
