Problems consuming snappy compressed messages via SimpleConsumer

[Dan Hoffman]

Publisher (using librdkafka C api) has sent both gzip and snappy compressed
messages.  I find that the java Simple Consumer (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example#)
is unable to read the snappy ones, while the High Level one is.   Is this
expected?  Is there something you have to do in order to handle the snappy
messages?   There is no error messages provided, it simply acts as if there
are no further messages.
