T Jake Luciani commented on HADOOP-7206:
----------------------------------------
We have a Snappy codec in brisk based on the java-snappy project:
http://code.google.com/p/snappy-java/
We did this because snappy-java is ASL, in maven, and comes with pre-built with
shared libs for win, linux, and osx. For end users this is a much lower bar to
getting into their system.
https://github.com/riptano/brisk/tree/master/src/java/src/com/hadoop/compression/snappy
I'm confused on how to contribue this back based on the above comments :)
should we submit a patch or release this as a standalone github project?

> Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for maximum
> compression, or compatibility with any other compression library; instead, it
> aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For instance, compared
> to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of magnitude faster for most
> inputs, but the resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100%
> bigger. On a single core of a Core i7 processor in 64-bit mode, Snappy
> compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec
> or more.
