[~m0nstermind], what tag or SHA-hash did you rebase on? It will make reviewing this 74k patch a little easier...

> This patch employs lz4 algo to comress commit logs. This could be useful to conserve disk space either archiving commit logs  for a long time or for conserviing iops for use cases with often and large mutations updating the same record.
> The compression is performed on blocks of 64k, for better cross mutation compression. CRC is computed on each 64k block, unlike original code computing it on each individual mutation.
> On one of our real production cluster this saved 2/3 of the space consumed by commit logs. The replay is 20-30% slower for the same number of mutations.
> While doing this, also refactored commit log reading code to CommitLogReader class, which i believe makes code cleaner.
