The logs are fetched using the yarn logs -applicationId <applicationId> > file_name.log is there something that needs to be append to the command to decompress the files while outputing the results.

Answer 1

Kindly look into this approach:

gunzip -c stdout.gz | myScript.pl -o myoutfile.txt -i -

or you can go with:

zcat stdout.gz > yarnstdout
