So unfortunately I think this library may be a no-go. In reviewing the
LICENSE it is said to be ASLv2. However, in reviewing their NOTICE as-is
necessary to copy forward any appropriate NOTICE data there is a GCC Exception
(GPL v3). https://github.com/xerial/snappy-java/blob/develop/NOTICE I do not
believe this is allowed under ASF licensing guidelines. More on the topic of
even GPLv3 w/Exceptions being not allowed can be found here
