Backport LZ4 compression
------------------------
Key: HADOOP-8266
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8266
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.22.0, 0.21.0
Reporter: Bert Sanders
LZ4 compression is currently enabled for 0.23.1 and 0.24.
However, it is not available for earlier versions of Hadoop.
As a consequence, existing distributions such as Cloudera CDH3U3 cannot benefit
from it.
The request is to backport the LZ4 compression scheme up to a "reasonable
level", typically up to the first version with Snappy compression supported
(0.21.0).
