Doug Cutting updated AVRO-135:
------------------------------

    Priority: Blocker  (was: Major)

+1 for making this a blocker.  I'm currently leaning towards fastlz.  Adding the java version of that looks really easy.  Subsequently we can add support for calling the C implementation from Java.  Adding python will be a bit more work, since we'll need to call native code, but is probably required before we release, especially if we want to enable compression by default.

Should we enable compression by default?  I think this might make sense if compression is substantially faster than object serialization/deserialization and if all implementations of Avro support the anointed default codec.
