Answer 1

This is how to read a file that CAN BE gzipped:

private void read(final File file)
        throws IOException {
    InputStream stream = null;
    try (final InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            final BufferedInputStream bInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);) {
        bInputStream.mark(1024);
        try {
            stream = new GZIPInputStream(bInputStream);
        } catch (final ZipException e) {
            // not gzipped OR not supported zip format
            bInputStream.reset();
            stream = bInputStream;
        }
        // USE STREAM HERE
    } finally {
        if (stream != null) {
            stream.close();
        }
    }
}
