LZO Compression with Oozie

It happens, when one of the compression codec is switched to LZO, that Oozie can't start any MR job successfully. Usually this is done per core-site.xml:

<property>
<name>io.compression.codecs</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec,com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec,com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzopCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.BZip2Codec</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>io.compression.codec.lzo.class</name>
<value>com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec</value>
</property>

Oozie reports a ClassNotFound error (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Class com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec not found). To get the jobs running copy or link hadoop-lzo.jar into /var/lib/oozie/ and restart Oozie's server. 

The second, most common issue most people forget is to set the shared lib directory:

[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdir  /user/oozie
[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chown oozie:oozie /user/oozie
[root@hadoop2 ~]# mkdir /tmp/share && cd /tmp/share && tar xvfz /usr/lib/oozie/oozie-sharelib.tar.gz
[root@hadoop2 ~]# sudo -u oozie hadoop fs -put share /user/oozie/share

From CDH 4.1 on a jar package is delivered, called uber JAR. It contains only dependencies to other jar files in a lib/ folder inside of it. After enabling this property, the user can use this in their mapreduce jobs and notify Oozie about this special jar file. You can enable this package per oozie-site.xml

<property>
<name>oozie.action.mapreduce.uber.jar.enable</name>
<value>true</value>

When this property is set, users can use the oozie.mapreduce.uber.jar configuration property in their MapReduce workflows to notify Oozie that the specified JAR file is an uber JAR.
