Swapnil Ghike created KAFKA-570: ----------------------------------- Summary: Kafka should not need snappy jar at runtime Key: KAFKA-570 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-570 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.8 Reporter: Swapnil Ghike Priority: Blocker Fix For: 0.8.1
CompressionFactory imports snappy jar in a pattern match. The purpose of importing it this way seems to be avoiding the import unless snappy compression is actually required. However, kafka throws a ClassNotFoundException if snappy jar is removed at runtime from lib_managed. This exception can be easily seen by producing some data with the console producer. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
