I got stuck like you before trying to setup snappy on hbase. Here what I
recall I did from memory:
I think you need to copy the snappy libs inside the hadoop lib/native, then
point hbase to it.
So in hbase/conf/hbase.env , you should have something similar to this:
export HADOOP_HOME=<path-to-hadoop>/hadoop/
export HBASE_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-hadoop>/hadoop/lib/
Inside the hadoop folder
"<path-to-hadoop>/hadoop/lib/native/Linux-amd64-64/", that's what I have
now:
libhadoop.a libhadooppipes.a libhadoop.so.1
libhadooputils.a libhdfs.la libhdfs.so.0 libsnappy.so
libsnappy.so.1.1.3
libhadoop.la libhadoop.so libhadoop.so.1.0.0 libhdfs.a
libhdfs.so libhdfs.so.0.0.0 libsnappy.so.1
and I think I had to copy those files from somewhere else inside hadoop to
this folder, as well as snappy libs for snappy to work.
BTW... the snappy debian packages did not work. I had to download the
snappy library from here http://code.google.com/p/snappy/downloads/list ,
make and copy the libs inside hadoop.
I'm using hadoop and hbase from the tarballs on apache's website.
Let me know if you're still stuck. I will try to redo what I did before in
a local version.
Best,
Mohamed
