Hi Florian,

AvroIO should support compression via Avro codecs. If it does not, this is an omission. We would welcome a pull request!

> FileBasedSink (also TextIO.Write, AvroIO.Write, etc). does not have an option for compressing its output.
> In general, we discourage compression because it limits or blocks scalably reading from a file in parallel. However, users may want it -- so we should support the option (with appropriate warnings).
