> Cassandra has a lot of locations that are ripe for type specific compression. A short list:
> Indexes
>  * Keys compressed as BytesType, which could default to LZO/LZMA
>  * Offsets (delta and varint encoding)
>  * Column names added by 2319
> Data
>  * Keys, columns, timestamps: see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FileFormatDesignDoc
> A basic interface for type specific compression could be as simple as:
> {code:java}
> public void compress(int version, final List<ByteBuffer> from, DataOutput to) throws IOException
> public void decompress(int version, DataInput from, List<ByteBuffer> to) throws IOException
> public void skip(int version, DataInput from) throws IOException
> {code}
