This switches the SnappyCodec to use the java-snappy codec, rather than the native one.
To use the codec, snappy-java.jar (from org.xerial.snappy) needs to be on the classpath.
This comesin as an avro dependency, so it is already on the hadoop-common classpath,
as well as in hadoop-common/lib.
The version used is now managed in the hadoop-project POM; initially 1.1.7.7
