Carl Yeksigian commented on CASSANDRA-5038:
-------------------------------------------
One benefit to LZ4 is that the unsafe implementation isn't much slower than the
native version; if we end up going to an incompatible version (or people run on
some platform that Snappy/LZ4 native hasn't been created for), they won't have
nearly the slowdown that Snappy has (or at least had, not sure if they've
addressed that).

> LZ4 is a new compression algo that's ~2x faster than Snappy.
> [~jpountz] has written a nice java port which includes a misc.Unsafe version
> that performs >= than our java snappy version.
> Details at http://blog.jpountz.net/post/28092106032/wow-lz4-is-fast
> The nice thing is this should work with java7 and be more portable.
> We can also fallback the pure java impl
