Snappy Compression Support

[eapache]

Gzip support was trivial because it's built into the Go standard libraries. For snappy we'll have to add a dependency on some 3rd-party library.

Probably: https://code.google.com/p/snappy-go/

And for reference, because dependency management is bizarre in Go if you're used to a Gemfile: http://www.stovepipestudios.com/blog/2013/02/go-dependency-management.html

Maybe have a look at this: https://github.com/d2fn/gopack

I feel like that goes against The Go Way.

Agreed that gopack doesn't seem idiomatic for go.

I think the snappy dependency is ok.
