Note that the streaming or framing format for snappy is different from snappy itself. Think of it as a train of boxcars: the streaming format breaks your data in chunks, applies snappy to each chunk alone, then puts a thin wrapper around the chunk, and sends it along in turn. You can begin decoding before receiving everything. And memory requirements for decoding are sane.
