Description

While testing the patch for HADOOP-9648, I noticed that the bzip2 native compressor/decompressor support wasn't working properly. I dug around a bit and got native bzip2 support to work on my macbook. Will attach a patch in a bit. (This probably needs to be tested on FreeBSD / Windows / Linux, but I don't have the time to set up the necessary VMs to do it. I assume the build bot will test Linux).
