Hi...

I am trying to run some sample code from the Avro 1.7.3 distribution and,
for the weather-snappy.avro file, the following exception occurs:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/xerial/snappy/SnappyException
at
org.apache.avro.file.SnappyCodec$Option.createInstance(SnappyCodec.java:34)
at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.resolveCodec(DataFileStream.java:139)
at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.initialize(DataFileStream.java:125)
at org.apache.avro.file.DataFileStream.<init>(DataFileStream.java:84)

. . .
The above message persists even after adding avro-tools-1.7.3.jar to the
project classpath.

So, what is the easy way out of this? :-)

Hi-

This is within snappy-java-1.0.4.1.jar (version may vary - that's where
I found it). You will need to add that .jar to your classpath.

HTH,

Terry

It is actually also in the avro-tools-1.7.3 JAR (I checked before adding
it).

The problem was that there was another (older) Avro JAR somewhere in the
classpath of one of the projects loaded, so that did not have the Snappy
CODEC and, having taken priority, it caused the exception, while I had
added everything correctly in the code I was running.

Thanks for the advice! :-)
