             Summary: SortedKeyValueFile Writer should support compression codecs
                 Key: AVRO-1522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1522
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.6
            Reporter: Steven Willis


There's no option to set the compression codec on a {{SortedKeyValueFile.Writer}}. And since the {{Writer}} creates the output file in the constructor and it provides no public access to the underlying {{DataFileWriter}} anyway, the user can't set a codec themselves.

I have a patch that will add this functionality through the {{SortedKeyValueFile.Writer.Options}} class. But we might want to consider if it also makes sense to delay creating the data and index {{DataFileWriters}} until a {{create()}} method is called, and allow public access to these writers so a consumer of the API can modify settings of the underlying writers themselves.
