Hadoop Files Compression Formats

You can read or write compressed complex files, specify compression formats for the target objects, and decompress the output files.
You can use compression formats such as Gzip, Bzip2, and DEFLATE. The compressed files must be of the binary format. The following table describes the complex file compression formats for binary files:
Compression Options
Description
None or empty
The file is not compressed.
Auto
The Data Integration Service detects the compression format of the file based on the file extension.
DEFLATE
The DEFLATE compression format that uses a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding.
Gzip
The GNU zip compression format that uses the DEFLATE algorithm.
Bzip2
The Bzip2 compression format that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm.
