fastlz replacement for LZO

Hi,

Does anyone know if fastlz is still intended to replace LZO?

Thanks,
Will

If you have a patch that implements it, please file a jira and attach it. It
would be good to have an Apache License compatible codec that is fast in the
Hadoop build. (The advantage would be that we could make it the default for
the shuffle, which we can't if it isn't included in the build.)

In the mean time, there is the project that just includes the lzo codec
(under gpl):

Sorry, I should mention, I'm using LZO but need to switch in the
future b/c of the GPL.
