What is liblz4-jni
liblz4-jni is:
LZ4 compression for Java, based on Yann Collet’s work available at https://github.com/lz4/lz4. This library provides access to two compression methods that both generate a valid LZ4 stream: fast scan (LZ4) with a low memory footprint, very fast and reasonable compression ratio, and high compression (LZ4 HC) with medium memory footprint, rather slow and a good compression ratio
The streams produced by those two compression algorithms use the same compression format, are very fast to decompress and can be decompressed by the same decompressor instance.
