There is already support for Snappy in Kafka as in https://quarkus.io/guides/kafka#using-snappy-for-message-compression, but I believe this extension is for other use cases, right?

Yep I use it in parquet files for example

I got code from Kafka extension to enable snappy but the integration tests are failing, not sure it is the right place to ask..

In Kafka extension there is a property that disable snappy for tests I think, how should I do here? Introducing a property doesn't really make sense to me since, if you use the extension, it is implicit that we want to load snappy.
