Sqoop import data from Teradata to HDP as default file format as deflate... why?

[#1]

Using HDP-2.3.4.0. Importing data from Teradata to HDP using sqoop import command. The default extension it is given in HDP as .deflate. Why?

By default Sqoop doesn't compress your output data, are you by chance using gzip compression? Is this only happening with teradata imports?

I won't use any compression in the Sqoop command. Still it store it as .deflate format. This is only happening with Teradata as I am using Teradata connector for HDP 2.3.4.0.
