Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8528:
--------------------------------------------
The Snappy codec should fallback to the Java snappy version if the the native
bindings are not avail. Is the snappy-java JAR avail in maven repos? We'll need
that to be able to pull it in.
> Add pure java snappy as an option
> ---------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-8528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8528
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Dave Revell
> Priority: Minor
>
> Using native libs for snappy has some disadvantages:
> - Requires libhadoop and libsnappy to be installed on servers, test
> machines, and any server running a minicluster with a SNAPPY CF
> - Requires configuration of java.library.path
> - Complicates the POM
> A pure java implementation of snappy is available, ASL2 licensed:
