Roman Shaposhnik commented on HADOOP-8806:
------------------------------------------
FYI: snappy is now pretty widely available. Even on CentOS 5:
http://pkgs.org/search/?keyword=snappy
With that in mind, I'd rather link against it dynamically. Especially if we are
not getting rid of dynamic aspect alltogether (libz will remain to be
dynamically linked).
> libhadoop.so: search java.library.path when calling dlopen

> libhadoop calls {{dlopen}} to load {{libsnappy.so}} and {{libz.so}}. These
> libraries can be bundled in the {{$HADOOP_ROOT/lib/native}} directory. For
> example, the {{-Dbundle.snappy}} build option copies {{libsnappy.so}} to this
> directory. However, snappy can't be loaded from this directory unless
> {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} is set to include this directory.
> Should we also search {{java.library.path}} when loading these libraries?
