- Method Detail
  - getCompressionsAccepted
```
EnumSet<fr.ens.biologie.genomique.kenetre.io.CompressionType> getCompressionsAccepted()
```
    Test if the port accept a compressed input format.
    
    Returns:
    
    a set with the compression type allowed by the step for the port
  - isRequiredInWorkingDirectory
```
boolean isRequiredInWorkingDirectory()
```
    Test if input data of the port is required in the working directory. This method allow to declare the input data that need to be copied in the working directory before starting the step. As an example, it is used to copy files from a local file system to a distributed file system like HDFS. After that mapreduce jobs can be efficiency launched.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the input data need to be copied in the working directory.
