      Depend on the pure Java implementation of Zstd and Snappy compression from https://github.com/airlift/aircompressor.

      Pros:

      1. Single library instead of two
      2. No native code, aligning with the Integrity by Default direction of the JDK defined in https://openjdk.org/jeps/8305968.
      3. Easier to integrate into GraalVM
      4. Possibly faster. Their claim is a 10-40% speedup
      5. Library is used in https://trino.io/
      6. Actively maintained

      Cons:

      1. Implementation is not as widely used as the native libraries we currently depend on, and the library hasn't released a 1.0 version.
      2. Relies on sun.misc.Unsafe for speed
