---------------------------------------
Hi all,
Thank you for giving permission to relisence regarding hadoop-snappy.
I created the patch that add the snappy compression support to the trunk of the
Hadoop SVN repository.
Its native library is a part of the libhadoop and it requires the snappy v1.0.2
or higher.
(Because it doesn't use C++ interface but C interface and load the snappy
native library dynamically via dlopen.)
I would like to hear your advice.

> Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for maximum
> compression, or compatibility with any other compression library; instead, it
> aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For instance, compared
> to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of magnitude faster for most
> inputs, but the resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100%
> bigger. On a single core of a Core i7 processor in 64-bit mode, Snappy
> compresses at about 250 MB/sec or more and decompresses at about 500 MB/sec
> or more.
