Description

Attached is a stand alone utility to test compression compatibility
before starting hbase:

1. ./hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.test.HFileCompressionTest
   Usage: HFileCompressionTest hdfs compression
   compression must be one of [ none, gz, lzo ]

1. ./hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.test.HFileCompressionTest
   hdfs://localhost:8020/ lzo
   09/09/29 13:39:55 INFO lzo.GPLNativeCodeLoader: Loaded native gpl library
   09/09/29 13:39:55 INFO lzo.LzoCodec: Successfully loaded & initialized
   native-lzo library
   09/09/29 13:39:55 INFO compress.CodecPool: Got brand-new compressor
   OK

The utility creates a temporary HFile named '.hfile-comp-test' at the
specified HDFS path and outputs either 'OK' or 'FAILED'.
