----------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for LZ4 compression
                 Key: SPARK-2399
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2399
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
            Reporter: Greg Bowyer
         Attachments: SPARK-2399-Make-spark-compression-able-to-use-LZ4.patch

LZ4 is a compression codec of the same ideas as googles snappy, but has some 
advantages:
* It is faster than snappy with a similar compression ration
* The implementation is Apache licensed and not GPL

It has shown promise in both the lucene and hadoop communities, and it looks 
like its a really easy add to spark io compression.

Attached is a patch that does this
