[C#] Adding compression and decompression support

[Rishabh Rana <ri...@gmail.com>]

Hey Arrow!

I am working to add compression and decompression support starting with lz4
support to the C# implementation.

Can someone help me with confirming if any external library can be used to
handle the actual decompression/ compression or does this change need to be
contained within the C# implementation?

Any pointers on how to tackle this are also appreciated

Thank you

I'm not an expert in the C# but I imagine there should be high quality LZ4
implementations in C#.  There is [1] which is referenced on the LZ4 page
for isntances The approach we took in java is to put
compressors/decompressors in a separate sub-component, with the interface
contained in the main project to avoid unnecessary dependencies.  I'm not
sure what the preference for C# maintainers would be.

Cheers,
Micah
