Hi Adam,
https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#data.block.encoding.types contains a
detailed description of compression in HBase. The final solution for us was to
configure the snappy codec in hbase-site.xml:
<property>
<name>hbase.io.compress.snappy.codec</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.compress.aircompressor.SnappyCodec</value>
</property>
It seems to me that Hadoop completely covers this internally itself. Apart from
the fact that there are no more native libraries in hadoop/lib/native, we have
not changed anything in the Hadoop configuration.
Best regards
Udo
