- In Big Data, when we used the compression, it saves the storage space and reduce the network overhead.
- One can specify the compression coded while writing the data to HDFS ( Hadoop format)
- One can also read the compressed data, for that also we can use compression codec.
- Following are the different compression format support in BigData:
* gzip
* lzo
* bzip2
* Zlib
* Snappy
