> Snappy is an extremely performant compression format that's widely used offering fast decompression/compression. 
> This can be easily implemented by creating a SnappyInflaterInputStreamFactory and updating the initDefaultInflateInputStreamFactories in FileInputFormat.
> Flink already includes the Snappy dependency in the project. 
> There is a minor gotcha in this. If we wish to use this with Hadoop, then we must provide two separate implementations since Hadoop uses a different version of the snappy format than Snappy Java (which is the xerial/snappy included in Flink).
