> The set of block encoders available for processing HFiles is fixed at compile time. Rather than hardcode the set of available encoders in an enum, consider a registry and a couple of APIs for adding additional encoders at runtime. Modify HFile (V3) metadata to specify encoders by string or classname.
> Consider a stackable encoding API, so coprocessors can watch, change, or override block coding in upcalls. 
> Block encoders are tightly bound to the particulars of HFile version internals. It would be good if some of that can go away.
> Could also consider dynamic loading of encoder implementations.
