Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-6837:
-----------------------------------
@nicolas, per our offline conversation last week, have you looked into whether
the licensing of liblzma is suitable for inclusion in Hadoop? Liblzma seems
better in the sense that its API resembles closely the APIs of other
compression libraries like bzip or zlib and should shrink the amount of coding
work needed to support C (and Java over JNI).
