[jira] [Created] (AVRO-1414) Compression with C++ DataFile

Daniel Russel created AVRO-1414:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Compression with C++ DataFile
                 Key: AVRO-1414
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1414
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: c++
            Reporter: Daniel Russel


There is no way to use compression with the C++ DataFileReader and C++ DataFileWriter, from what I can tell. Adding compression of the written blocks using boost streams is relatively straight forward and I can provide a patch if people are interested. 

However, there are a couple caveats:
- the windows builds of boost don't currently include zlib support (required for compression) by default. You have to do extra work to get it.
- I don't know if doing it that way is compatible with other avro implementations
