Dave Revell created HADOOP-8528:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Consider using java snappy instead of native
Key: HADOOP-8528
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8528
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Dave Revell
Priority: Minor
Using native libs for snappy has some disadvantages:
- Requires libhadoop and libsnappy to be installed on servers, test machines,
and any server running a minicluster with a SNAPPY CF
- Requires configuration of java.library.path
- Complicates the POM
A pure java implementation of snappy is available, ASL2 licensed:
http://code.google.com/p/snappy-java/ . Benchmarks versus native snappy are
available: https://github.com/ning/jvm-compressor-benchmark/wiki
