Hi Chalcy Lzo indexing not working, Is Lzo codec class available in 'io.compression.codec' property in core-site.xml?
Snappy is not splittable on its own. But sequence files are splittable so when used together snappy gains the advantage of splittability.

The sqoop import will not go to the second phase where it creates lzo index. We did deploy the native libraries, except hadoop-lzo lib which we copied after we built in another machine. We did the same thing on the test machine also. I'll try snappy with sequence file also. Will snappy with sequence file is naturally splittable on the block (one mapper per block)? Yes, it is cumbersome to create lzo library, then create the file and then create index.

It could be because LZO libs are not available on the TaskTracker nodes. These are native libs and are tied to OS, so if you have done an OS upgrade then you need to rebuild and deploy these native libs as well (a simple copy of native libs based older OS may not work as desired). Like Edward suggested, snappy + sequence is a great combination.

IIRC the process of generating LZO files and then generating an index on top of these is cumbersome. When sequence files are directly splittable.
