[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-1493) Use a well-documented LZ4 compression format and remove redundant LZ4HC option

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1493?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14030908#comment-14030908 ] 

Albert Strasheim commented on KAFKA-1493:
-----------------------------------------

What does the format look like for a Snappy compressed message?

One might simply need a varint-encoded field for the uncompressed length followed by a compressed block.

The LZ4 streaming format and the xxhash, etc. in there might be overkill.
