Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-11755:
-----------------------------------------
Linking to HADOOP-9991, the general "update JARs" JIRA.
Upgrading dependencies is one of the key backwards compatibility troublespots:
we don't want to ship old binaries, but we often have to for fear of breaking
things downstream.
There isn't going to be a rush to do this for Avro; it's not going to happen
until after a release has been made and everyone is happy avro and snappy
releases are not going to break things such as existing MR workloads.
You are of course free to install later versions of avro (even unreleased ones)
in your own installations
> Update avro version to have PowerPC supported Snappy-java

> Key: HADOOP-11755
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11755
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: PowerPC64, PowerPC64LE
> Reporter: Ayappan
>
> Hadoop downloads Snappy-java 1.0.4.1 version (which don't have PowerPC native
> libraries) through avro 1.7.4 dependency.
> Current Avro development version ( 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT) has updated the
> snappy-java version to 1.1.1.3 which has ppc64 & ppc64le native libraries.So
> Hadoop needs to update the avro version to the upcoming release ( probably
> 1.7.8) to have PowerPC supported snappy-java in its lib.
