While analyzing compression performance of different Hadoop codecs I noticed
that the LZ4 code was taken from revision 43 of https://code.google.com/p/lz4/.
The latest version is r98 and there may be extra performance benefits we can
gain from using r98.
We may involve the original LZ4 author Yann Collet on these discussions, as the
current LZ4 code includes additional algorithms and parameters.
To start the investigation, I ran preliminary experiments with the Silesia
corpus and there seems to be an improvement on throughput for compression and
decompression in the latest release when compared with r43 (haven't done enough
analysis to conclude anything statistically, but looks good).
Here is raw output using LZ4 from r43 with a SUBSET of the silesia corpus
