Hi,
As I am involved in the development of Snappy, editing this article would probably be a case of WP:COI, but the authors list is highly misleading. The original authors of Snappy (under the name of Zippy) are Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat. I (Steinar H. Gunderson) did significant optimization work and almost all work related to open-sourcing, but I did not create the algorithm nor the format in the first place. Zeev Tarantov's role is very limited; he helped create a draft format specification, and tried to get a C port of Snappy into the Linux kernel (which, as far as I know, was never successful). In this light, having the authors list be “Zeev Tarantov, Steinar H. Gunderson” sounds wrong to me. - Sesse ( talk) 18:17, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

The declared in the "Stream format" section limit on the dictionary size of 65,536 conflicts the 4-byte offset format 11. Perhaps, it is related to framing and should be re-phrased and moved to the "Framing format"? Dimawik ( talk) 06:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
