Albert Strasheim commented on KAFKA-1493: ----------------------------------------- What does the format look like for a Snappy compressed message? One might simply need a varint-encoded field for the uncompressed length followed by a compressed block. The LZ4 streaming format and the xxhash, etc. in there might be overkill. > Use a well-documented LZ4 compression format and remove redundant LZ4HC option > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1493 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1493 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: James Oliver > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
