Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-538:
------------------------------------------
If we are to permit use of a native libhadoop there is at least one more thing
that could be optimized - the annoying issue of getting the amount of free disk
space, which currently requires running a Unix / cygwin utility and parsing its
text output.
> Implement a nio's 'direct buffer' based wrapper over zlib to improve
> performance of java.util.zip.{De|In}flater as a 'custom codec'

> There has been more than one instance where java.util.zip's {De|In}flater
> classes perform unreliably, a simple wrapper over zlib-1.2.3 (latest stable)
> using java.nio.ByteBuffer (i.e. direct buffers) should go a long way in
> alleviating these woes.
