  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9
The compression level to use; this is valid only when using GZIP compression. A lower value results in faster processing but less compression; a value of 0 indicates no compression but simply archiving
Update Filenamefalse
  • true
  • false
If true, will remove the filename extension when decompressing data (only if the extension indicates the appropriate compression format) and add the appropriate extension when compressing data

Relationships:

NameDescription
failureFlowFiles will be transferred to the failure relationship if they fail to compress/decompress
successFlowFiles will be transferred to the success relationship after successfully being compressed or decompressed
