This article explains why it happens, how to fix the missing hadoop-lzo classes on the Oozie server, how to correctly deploy the Oozie sharelib and how to enable the legacy uber-jar feature for MapReduce actions in CDH-era clusters. Note (2025): This article documents behaviour from the CDH 4.x/5.x Oozie + MapReduce stack.

Typical configuration looks like: <property> <name>io.compression.codecs</name> <value...
