[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-7657) Add support for LZ4 compression

Add support for LZ4 compression
-------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7657
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7657
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mr Bsd


According to several benchmark sites, LZ4 seems to overtake other fast compression algorithms, especially in the decompression speed area. The interface is also trivial to integrate (http://code.google.com/p/lz4/source/browse/trunk/lz4.h) and there is no license issue.
