Andrew Kyle Purtell updated HBASE-26259:
----------------------------------------
Release Note:
This change introduces provided compression codecs to HBase as
new Maven modules. Each module provides compression codec support that
formerly required Hadoop native codecs, which in turn relies on native code
integration, which may or may not be available on a given hardware platform or
in an operational environment. We now provide codecs in the HBase distribution
for users whom for whatever reason cannot or do not wish to deploy the Hadoop
native codecs.
> Fallback support to pure Java compression

> Airlift’s aircompressor
> (https://search.maven.org/artifact/io.airlift/aircompressor) is an Apache 2
> licensed library, for Java 8 and up, available in Maven central, which
> provides pure Java implementations of gzip, lz4, lzo, snappy, and zstd and
> Hadoop compression codecs for same, claiming “_they are typically 300% faster
> than the JNI wrappers_.” (https://github.com/airlift/aircompressor). This
> library is under active development and up to date releases because it is
> used by Trino.
> Proposed changes:
> * Modify Compression.java such that compression codec implementation classes
> can be specified by configuration. Currently they are hardcoded as strings.
> * Pull in aircompressor as a ‘compile’ time dependency so it will be bundled
> into our build and made available on the server classpath.
> * Modify Compression.java to fall back to an aircompressor pure Java
> implementation if schema specifies a compression algorithm, a Hadoop native
> codec was specified as desired implementation, but the requisite native
> support is somehow not available.
