Hi all,
Am trying to implement LZO compression algorithm in my program. Please advice where I can download the API jars and may be some sample programs. I've tried googling for almost 10 hours now .

Thanks in advance,
Karthik

Are you sure that a Java API exists? The LZO documentation states that it doesn't have Java bindings yet, and given that it's a fairly obscure algorithm, nobody else may have bothered creating them. You may have to roll your own using JNI.

Um, did you really search for 10 hours without finding the home page of the algorithm and implementation? It's the first link I get in Google.

I suppose you were referring to oberhumer.com. But I also found a few java sample programs at below url though without any API linked for download and the code also isnt very clear. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Good find. Since it seems to be part of Apache Hadoop, why don't you download that, and try to extract the relevant source code?

most of my 10 hours were spent trying to download the apache hadoop only. Still unable to find org.apache.hadoop.util.NativeCodeLoader.

So I was wondering if anybody has managed to download the complete hadoop package, I would really love to know from where they did it.

What did you download? That class is part of the Hadoop core jar file, which is kind of the first thing one encounters on the Hadoop site when looking for downloads, right here: http://apache.mirror.clusters.cc/hadoop/core/hadoop-0.20.1/

I'm afraid that I can't help, then - the class is in that download. How did you look for it after you extracted the file's contents?

Not sure what Eclipse does, but using the jar tool (and its "-tf" option) I was able to find that class real quick.
