Create lzo file and Lzo index file from raw file in plain Java

Is there a library I could use to compress a text file to lzo file and also generate it's lzo index file outside hadoop in plain java program ?

Solution
    • So there aren't libraries readily available outside hadoop world to create lzo and lzo index files.
    • Which basically leaves us to use open source projects like hadoop-lzo (calls native c++ lzo library) and lzo-java (which contains a java implementation of lzo compression also)
