Andrew Kyle Purtell updated HBASE-26258:
----------------------------------------
Description:
Some Hadoop compression codecs became more available in recent Hadoop 3.x
releases, addressed by HBASE-25940. This is nice but still requires native
platform support, which to state the obvious is not available on all platforms
and architectures, even if native libaries for some are bundled into jars.
Airlift's aircompressor
(https://search.maven.org/artifact/io.airlift/aircompressor) is an Apache 2
licensed library, for Java 8 and up, available in Maven central, which provides
pure Java implementations of desirable compression algorithms gzip, lz4, lzo,
snappy, and zstd, and Hadoop compression codecs for same, claiming "_they are
typically 300% faster than the JNI wrappers_."
(https://github.com/airlift/aircompressor). This library is under active
development and up to date releases because it is used by Trino.
We have another project that depends on universal availability of SNAPPY. I
would like to make this change as a general improvement which also satisfies
that requirement. (The as yet unnamed project will be contributed later.) It
will be a very nice-to-have to have universal ZSTD support available as well.
Proposed changes:
* Modify Compression.java such that compression codec implementation classes
can be specified by configuration. Currently they are hardcoded as strings.
* Pull in aircompressor as a 'compile' time dependency so it will be bundled
into our build and made available on the server classpath.
* Modify Compression.java to fall back to an aircompressor pure Java
implementation if schema specifies a compression algorithm, a Hadoop native
codec was specified as desired implementation, but the requisite native support
is somehow not available.
The combination of these changes will provide universal (pure Java) support for
these desired and desirable compression codecs while retaining default
behavior, which is to load and utilize Hadoop native implementations of same,
if native support is available. They will also let you override this default if
you wish to chase the claimed benefits of the pure Java alternatives.
