--------------------------
Priority: Blocker (was: Major)

Making a blocker against 0.96.2.... If anyone has anything to add to Rural
notes, it'd be appreciated ([~jmspaggi] Do we need to integrate your page into
refguide?)
> Have snappy support properly documented would be helpful to hadoop and hbase

> The currentl document for configuring snappy
> support(http://hbase.apache.org/book/snappy.compression.html) is not complete
> and it's a bit obscure. IMO, there are several improvments can be made:
> 1. Describe the relationship among hadoop,hbase,snappy. Is the snappy
> actually needed by hadoop hdfs or hbase itself? That's to make clear if you
> need to configure snappy support in hbase or hadoop.
> 2. It didn't mention the default hadoop binary package is compiled without
> snappy support and you need to compile it with snappy option manually.
> Actually it didn't work with any native libs on 64 bits OS as the
> libhadoop.so in the binary package is only for 32 bits OS(this of course is a
> hadoop issue not hbase. but it's good to mention it.).
> 3. In my experience, I actually need to install both snappy and
> hadoop-snappy. So the doc lack of the steps to install hadoop-snappy.
> 4. During my set up, I found difference where hadoop and hbase to pick up the
> native lib files. hadoop picks those files in ./lib while hbase picks in
> ./lib/[PLATFORM]. If it's correct, it can also be mentioned.
