Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4958:
---------------------------------------------

I'm not too fan of using a beta version, no matter how stable the git history 
looks like. So I see two way of moving forward:
# maybe M3 is indeed pretty stable and the author of snappy-java just didn't 
take the time to do a stable release. But imo only the snappy-java author knows 
that and we should maybe bug him to see if he would be good doing a stable 
release or if not, when we can expect one.
# there's apparently a pure java implem of snappy 
(https://github.com/dain/snappy). It's slightly slower on decompression so I'm 
not sure we want to have it the default, but we could use it as a fallback when 
loading the native version fails. Which would also give us a fallback for more 
exotic platform where the native version is just not available.

I note that I list both possibilities, but I'd lie if I said any of them was on 
my priority list. So feel free to bug the snappy-java author if you want this 
issue resolved :)
