Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7206:
------------------------------------------
I'd like to see:
a) OS X (32-bit and 64-bit) support
b) This tested on something other than a Sun JVM, preferably IBM's since a few
folks are using that.
Also, how hard is it to add a non-bundled so?

> Google release Zippy as an open source (APLv2) project called Snappy
> (http://code.google.com/p/snappy). This tracks integrating it into Hadoop.

> 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.
