Add support for LZF compression
-------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6389
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: io
Reporter: Tatu Saloranta
(note: related to [HADOOP-4874])
As per Doug's earlier comments, LZF does indeed look like a good compressor
candidate for fast compression/decompression, good enough compression rate.
>From my testing it seems at least twice as fast at compression, and somewhat
>faster for decompressing than gzip.
Code from
[http://h2database.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/h2/src/main/org/h2/compress/] is
applicable, and I have tested it with json data.
I hope to have more to spend on this in near future, but if someone else gets
to this first that'd be good too.
