Description

If the hadoop native library is not available on a system the GZip decompressor factory will return a null object instead of a decompressor object, causing a NPE.

The hadoop native library is only available on *nix platforms. Even on *nix platforms, Drill does not package the library, so if it is not available this problem will occur.
