Caused by: org.xerial.snappy.SnappyError: [FAILED_TO_LOAD_NATIVE_LIBRARY] no native library is found for os.name=Linux and os.arch=x86_64

What I would like to achieve:

Run a kafka consumer with native / aot / graalvm

Issue:

When running the application, I am facing this 100% reproducible issue:

Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: Received exception when fetching the next record from my-topic-1. If needed, please seek past the record to continue consumption.

What I tried:

In my dependencies, I do have the most recent Snappy:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.xerial.snappy</groupId>
            <artifactId>snappy-java</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.9.1</version>
        </dependency>

On my machine, Ubuntu, I do have Snappy installed.

root@dlp:~# apt -y install snapd
root@dlp:~# systemctl  enable snapd.service snapd.socket
root@dlp:~# source /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh

Question:

How to fix this exception?

> I do have Snappy installed.

Snap / snapd is not the same as Snappy .

You should install the latter with libsnappy-dev, as that is the native libraries that the error is referring to. The Java dependency requires those.

If you don't need Snap applications, then you can uninstall snapd
