[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8528) Add pure java snappy as an option

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8528?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13402413#comment-13402413 ] 

Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8528:
--------------------------------------------

The Snappy codec should fallback to the Java snappy version if the the native bindings are not avail. Is the snappy-java JAR avail in maven repos? We'll need that to be able to pull it in.

> 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:  https://github.com/dain/snappy .
