I think, to make compression extensible or customizable (which would be worthwhile in my opinion), we should make small changes to the code wrt. to its usability. That however does not match the contents of the associated JIRA. > Add GZip support > ---------------- > > Key: FLINK-1981 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1981 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Sebastian Kruse > Assignee: Sebastian Kruse > Priority: Minor > > GZip, as a commonly used compression format, should be supported in the same > way as the already supported deflate files. This allows to use GZip files > with any subclass of FileInputFormat. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
