Description

Why Hadoop Archive tool cannot compress output like other map-reduce job?
I used some options like -D mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true -D mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec but it's not work. Did I wrong somewhere?

If not, please support option for compress output of Hadoop Archive tool, it's very neccessary for data retention for everyone (small files problem and compress data).
