Description: Currently in the Cube project the HBase table creation has this:

// cfDesc.setCompressionType(Algorithm.SNAPPY); // fails on the Snapshotter at the end

For some reason it fails with something like "snappy libraries not available".

We want compressed tables, and this needs to be fixed]]>
