> Per Todd Lipcon's comment in HDFS-2834, "
>   Whenever a native decompression codec is being used, ... we generally have the following copies:
>   1) Socket -> DirectByteBuffer (in SocketChannel implementation)
>   2) DirectByteBuffer -> byte[] (in SocketInputStream)
>   3) byte[] -> Native buffer (set up for decompression)
>   4*) decompression to a different native buffer (not really a copy - decompression necessarily rewrites)
>   5) native buffer -> byte[]
>   with the proposed improvement we can hopefully eliminate #2,#3 for all applications, and #2,#3,and #5 for libhdfs.
> "
> The interfaces in the attached patch attempt to address:
>  A - Compression and decompression based on ByteBuffers (HDFS-2834)
>  B - Zero-copy compression and decompression (HDFS-3051)
>  C - Provide the caller a way to know how the max space required to hold compressed output.
