Kostas Sakellis commented on SPARK-4079:
----------------------------------------
[~pwendell] I'm in favor of checking if Snappy is supported and if not, log a
warning and switch to LZF. I feel this is a better user experience than just
throwing an exception and telling the user to go modify
"spark.io.compression.codec". Especially since this is a performance issue not
a correctness one. Thoughts?

> Key: SPARK-4079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4079
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin
>
> This issue has existed at least since 1.0, but has been made worse by 1.1
> since snappy is now the default compression algorithm. When trying to use it
> on a CentOS 5 machine, for example, you'll get something like this:

> There are two approaches I can see here (well, 3):
> * Declare CentOS 5 (and similar OSes) not supported, although that would suck
> for the people who are still on it and already use Spark
> * Fallback to another compression codec if Snappy cannot be loaded
> * Ask the Snappy guys to compile the library on an older OS...
> I think the second would be the best compromise.
