[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-300) [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format

["Wes McKinney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-300?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15608768#comment-15608768 ] 

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.

> 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?
