SequenceFile.Reader can't read gzip format compressed sequence file which produce by a mapreduce job without native compression library
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: HADOOP-6817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6817
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: io
Affects Versions: 0.20.2
Environment: Cluster:CentOS 5,jdk1.6.0_20
Client:Mac SnowLeopard,jdk1.6.0_20
Reporter: Wenjun Huang


An hadoop job output a gzip compressed sequence file(whether record compressed or block compressed).The client program use SequenceFile.Reader to read this sequence file,when reading the client program shows the following exceptions:

2090 [main] WARN org.apache.hadoop.util.NativeCodeLoader - Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
2091 [main] INFO org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.CodecPool - Got brand-new decompressor
Exception in thread "main" java.io.EOFException

I studied the code in org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile.Reader.init method and read:
// Initialize... *not* if this we are constructing a temporary Reader
if (!tempReader) {
valBuffer = new DataInputBuffer();
if (decompress) {
valDecompressor = CodecPool.getDecompressor(codec);
valInFilter = codec.createInputStream(valBuffer, valDecompressor);
valIn = new DataInputStream(valInFilter);
} else {
valIn = valBuffer;
}
the problem seems to be caused by "valBuffer = new DataInputBuffer();" ,because GzipCodec.createInputStream creates an instance of GzipInputStream whose constructor creates an instance of ResetableGZIPInputStream class.When ResetableGZIPInputStream's constructor calls it base class java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream's constructor ,it trys to read the empty "valBuffer = new DataInputBuffer();" and get no content,so it throws an EOFException.
