Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-851: -------------------------------------- Doug, I didn't realise this could be a problem... I took a look at the lzo ChangeLog (http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/lzonews.php), saw that lzo2 has been around for almost 2 years now (released in May 2005) and assumed lzo2 is reasonably common. The way libhadoop.so is structured now we don't mandate lzo2 or zlib, thus people can still use native-zlib without installing lzo2 or vice-versa and libhadoop.so will link fine. However if they need the lzo codec, they are forced to install lzo2 (as opposed to lzo1). Does that address your concern? Sure, I'll also add the test case. > Implement the LzoCodec with support for the lzo compression algorithms > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-851 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-851 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: io > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assigned To: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: HADOOP-851_1_20070103.patch > > > lzo is clearly one the best compression libraries out there: ... > http://compression.ca/act/act-summary.html > It should be a good value-add for hadoop... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
