stack updated HBASE-10303:
--------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Blocker)
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.96.2)
I made an edit to catch most of Rural's notes in the snappy section. I'm not
resolving because this section could get a redo/update so less likely others
run into the same experience Rural had. Moving out of 0.96.2.
> Have snappy support properly documented would be helpful to hadoop and hbase
> users

> 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.
