Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-9863:
-----------------------------------
JINT_MAX assumes a fixed size for 64bit signed integer. This may not always be
the case for other platforms. It would be good to use:
#include <limits.h>, and check with INT_MAX instead.
> Snappy compression in branch1 cannot work on Big-Endian 64 bit platform w/o
> backporting HADOOP-8686

> w/o changes made in HADOOP-8686 on SnappyCompressor.c, snappy compression in
> branch-1 hadoop on big endian 64 bit platform (ppc64 for example) will
> generate incorrect .snappy (almost-empty) file because of type casting from
> size_t to jint. Will include more detailed analysis in comments.
