>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8528
>             Project: Hadoop Common

> Using native libs for snappy has some disadvantages:
>  - Requires libhadoop and libsnappy to be installed on servers, test machines, and any server running a minicluster with a SNAPPY CF
>  - Requires configuration of java.library.path
>  - Complicates the POM
> A pure java implementation of snappy is available, ASL2 licensed: http://code.google.com/p/snappy-java/ . Benchmarks versus native snappy are available: https://github.com/ning/jvm-compressor-benchmark/wiki
