Compression codec com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec was not found

Question

Trying to run a mapreduce job with compression

hadoop jar \
  /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar \
  randomtextwriter \
  -Ddfs.replication=1 -Dmapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true -Dmapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.codec=com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec \
  /tmp/randomtextwriter 

Using parcels distributed lzo to all nodes in the cluster. Even then I am gettin the below error

Getting below error 
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Compression codec com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec was not found.

As a temporary solution you can manually add the hadoop-lzo jar in the hadoop classpath .

curl https://maven.twttr.com/com/hadoop/gplcompression/hadoop-lzo/0.4.19/hadoop-lzo-0.4.19.jar 

hadoop jar \ /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar \ randomtextwriter \ -Ddfs.replication=1 -Dmapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=true -Dmapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.codec=com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec \ /tmp/randomtextwriter --libjars hadoop-lzo-0.4.19.jar

Please make sure you download the compatible version of hadoop-lzo with your hadoop version.
