Chris Douglas commented on HADOOP-6069:
---------------------------------------
This conflicts with the long-suffering HADOOP-4652, so I hesitate to commit it.
What are the advantages?
> Remove explicit dynamic loading of libz in native code

> The native zlib code currently uses dlopen/dlsym to dynamically load libz.
> This used to make sense when there was an lzo option (so you could load
> libhadoop for lzo purposes without requiring libz as well). Now that
> libhadoop only has zlib as an option, it makes sense to just add it as an ld
> flag and let it be automatically loaded as a shlib dependency. I also doubt
> that there are any distros where libz isn't required by the base system.
