Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-300:
------------------------------------
It may make sense to limit to compressors designed for fast decompression
performance: snappy, zstd, lz4. High compression ratios might be less
interesting, but I'm interested in more feedback on use cases.
> [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Format
> Reporter: Wes McKinney

> It may be useful if data is to be sent over the wire to compress the data
> buffers themselves as their being written in the file layout.
> I would propose that we keep this extremely simple with a global buffer
> compression setting in the file Footer. Probably only two compressors worth
> supporting out of the box would be zlib (higher compression ratios) and lz4
> (better performance).
> What does everyone think?
