Embed Snappy Java library into H2

[Samhasi]

Hi all,

As a research I would like to embed Snappy java library into H2. As a
start I went through org.h2.compress but not having much idea of how
to do it. Do I need to extend compressor class and write my own snappy
class ?? can someone help me on doing this

Regards,
Samhasi

My reading of the H2 source code suggests you'd need to write an implementation of org.h2.compress.Compressor. You could use one of the two existing implementations of this interface as an example. CompressDeflate is a wrapper so maybe that's the place to start.

Good luck and I'd be happy to hear about your results. Let us know if Snappy gives a performance improvement over the existing compression algorithms in H2.

Regards,

Steve

Thank for the quick reply :). yeah it seems CompressDeflate is a good point to start, btw any idea of where these compression methods are called from ??
