Dave Revell updated HADOOP-8528:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
Using native libs for snappy has some disadvantages:
 - Requires libhadoop and libsnappy to be installed on servers, test machines, 
and any server running a minicluster with a SNAPPY CF
 - Requires configuration of java.library.path
 - Complicates the POM

A pure java implementation of snappy is available, ASL2 licensed:  
https://github.com/dain/snappy .
