Google has open sourced the compression library used across its backend infrastructure, including MapReduce, its distributed number-crunching platform, and BigTable, its distributed database.
Available at Google Code under an Apache 2.0 license, the library is called Snappy, but Google says this is the same library that was previously referred to as Zippy in some public presentations. As the names imply, the library's primary aim is speed. "It does not aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library," Google says. "Instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression."
