Hey guys, I spent a lot of time to figure out that when I use the example from the page cwiki.apache.org/Hive/compressedstorage.html: SET hive.exec.compress.output=true; SET io.seqfile.compression.type=BLOCK; -- NONE/RECORD/BLOCK (see below) INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE raw_sequence SELECT * FROM raw;
the setting SET io.seqfile.compression.type=BLOCK actually doesn't work and I had to do set mapred.output.compression.type=BLOCK; because the default for mapred.output.compression.type was RECORD; Please update the page Ruslan
