Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8722:
----------------------------------------------
I reworded this a bit. Thinking about it, I realized the snappy options might
look better in a single section. Also there should be some intro text about
what the heck snappy is before launching into these details.
bq. "-Dsnappy.prefix or -Dsnappy.lib" should be "and"
Seemed better to give each option its own section, I got rid of the 'or'
completely...
bq. "Most of the time, these options should not be necessary" should be
something like "These options are not required if the snappy libraries and
headers are installed in the system lib and includes directories."
I replaced this with "You do not need this option if you have installed snappy
through... a package manager"
> -Dbundle.snappy doesn't work unless -Dsnappy.lib is set

> HADOOP-8620 changed the default of snappy.lib from snappy.prefix/lib to
> empty. This, in turn, means that you can't use {{-Dbundle.snappy}} without
> setting {{-Dsnappy.lib}}
