[jira] [Created] (HBASE-25756) Support alternate compression for major and minor compactions

Andrew Kyle Purtell created HBASE-25756:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Support alternate compression for major and minor compactions
                 Key: HBASE-25756
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25756
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Compaction
            Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
            Assignee: Andrew Kyle Purtell
             Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.5.0


Resurrecting HBASE-2988. 

Currently we can specify a compression algorithm for a column family, or, optionally an alternative compression algorithm to use when compacting (as opposed to flushing). Extend this to optionally specify alternative compression algorithms for minor or major compactions. The interest here is specifically a separate alternative algorithm for major compactions, which might be an expensive but aggressively compressing algorithm like bzip2 or lzma (with custom patches).
