[GitHub] nifi issue #1457: NIFI-3420 Add Hadoop-readable Lz4 compression

Github user ilganeli commented on the issue:

    https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1457
  
    I've added unit tests but am closing this issue for now. There is a substantial blocker to this approach since it leverages the classes from Hadoop which themselves depend on natively compiled and loaded C code. Unless NiFi explicitly adds the C-code for the Lz4 codec and manually builds and loads that library, we won't be able to use the Codec in Hadoop.
    
    I've also evaluated using the lz4-java library instead but this does not generate data in a Hadoop readable format.
