Review comment:
       Yeah, sounds good. We can add it later if it is necessary.

> In Hadoop, we use native libs for lz4 codec which has several disadvantages:
> It requires native libhadoop to be installed in system LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and 
> they have to be installed separately on each node of the clusters, container 
> images, or local test environments which adds huge complexities from 
> deployment point of view. In some environments, it requires compiling the 
> natives from sources which is non-trivial. Also, this approach is platform 
> dependent; the binary may not work in different platform, so it requires 
> recompilation.
> It requires extra configuration of java.library.path to load the natives, and 
> it results higher application deployment and maintenance cost for users.
> Projects such as Spark use [lz4-java|https://github.com/lz4/lz4-java] which 
> is JNI-based implementation. It contains native binaries in jar file, and it 
> can automatically load the native binaries into JVM from jar without any 
> setup. If a native implementation can not be found for a platform, it can 
> fallback to pure-java implementation of lz4.
