How to reduce HDFS output file size?

[#1]

Sometimes I insert data to hive table using two ways:Hive and Hive on Tez.The HDFS output file size is twice when using hive on Tez. It take up more hdfs space.Is there any configurations to reduce the size?

Have you looked into CompressedStorage features on Hive?

You should be able to use this (for Snappy at least):

SET hive.exec.compress.output=true;
SET mapred.output.compression.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec;
SET mapred.output.compression.type=BLOCK;
