Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-4584:
--------------------------------------
bq. You wouldn't need static files if you compared output lengths
Even the output length depends on the endianess: LZ4 uses a hash table without
collision resolution (it maps hash -> last offset that produced this hash) to
find matchs of 4 consecutive bytes in the input bytes, and this hash function
is not endian-neutral (it interprets the 4 bytes as an 32-bits int, multiplies
it by a prime number and keeps the 12 first bits (13 if there are less than
2^16 input bytes)), so the collisions won't be the same depending on the
endianess and LZ4 won't find the same matchs.
