native snappy library not available: this version

Question

java.lang.RuntimeException: native snappy library not available: this version of libhadoop was built without snappy support. at org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec.checkNativeCodeLoaded(SnappyCodec.java:65) at org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec.getCompressorType(SnappyCodec.java:134) at org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.CodecPool.getCompressor(CodecPool.java:150)

i am using hadoop 2.7.3 version and hive 2.1.1 version

Answer 1

I have the same problem with you and I solved it.

As the error hint, the problem is libhadoop.so library that is not support snappy when building. When hadoop invoke libhadoop.so's public static native boolean buildSupportsSnappy(), it will return false. So, we get the error.

The solution is following BUILDING.txt to build libhadoop.so supporting snappy.

Good luck.
