Enable snappy compression by default for InnoDB page compression

Details

    Description

      Snappy is one of the options for InnoDB page compression, but it is not usually enabled in our builds:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/innodb-page-compression/#checking-supported-innodb-page-compression-algorithms

      The MariaDB ColumnStore storage engine has libsnappy as a dependency:

      $ sudo rpm -q --requires MariaDB-columnstore-engine | grep snappy
      		 
      libsnappy.so.1()(64bit)
      		 
      $ sudo rpm -qa | grep -i snappy
      		 
      snappy-1.1.0-3.el7.x86_64

      If one of our packages already has libsnappy as a dependency, then would it make sense to enable it by default for InnoDB page compression in some new GA version?
