> gzip is widely used in other frameowrks such as hadoop mapreduce and tez, and also
> I think that gizip is more stable than other codecs in terms of both performance
> and space overheads.
> I have one open question; current spark configuratios have a block size option
> for each codec (spark.io.compression.[gzip|lz4|snappy].block.size).
> As # of codecs increases, the configurations have more options and
> I think that it is sort of complicated for non-expert users.
> To mitigate it, my thought follows;
> the three configurations are replaced with a single option for block size
> (spark.io.compression.block.size). Then, 'Meaning' in configurations
> will describe "This option makes an effect on gzip, lz4, and snappy. 
> Block size (in bytes) used in compression, in the case when these compression
> codecs are used. Lowering...".
