The value for io.seqfile.compression.type determines how the compression is performed. If you set it to RECORD you will get as many output files as the number of map/reduce jobs. If you set it to BLOCK, you will get as many output files as there were input files. There is a tradeoff involved here – large number of output files => more parellel map jobs => lower compression ratio.
