Reading Data from zip/gzip

[chrisr123]

I'm able to read normal txt or csv files using Flink,
but what would I need to do in order to read them if they
are given to me in zip or gzip format? Assuming I do not want
to have to unzip them.
Thanks!

Hi Chris,

FileInputFormat automatically takes cares of file decompression for the files with gzip, xz, bz2 and deflate extensions.

Thanks,
