Hi [~wesm], thanks for providing the general idea, I'm quite interested in this feature. Do you happen to have some updates on the detail proposal?

> 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?
