Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-570:
-------------------------------------
This issue will be automatically fixed when the server code moves to client's
common libraries, moving to 0.9 for now.
> Kafka should not need snappy jar at runtime
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-570
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-570
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Swapnil Ghike
> Labels: bugs
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
>
> CompressionFactory imports snappy jar in a pattern match. The purpose of
> importing it this way seems to be avoiding the import unless snappy
> compression is actually required. However, kafka throws a
> ClassNotFoundException if snappy jar is removed at runtime from lib_managed.
> This exception can be easily seen by producing some data with the console
> producer.
