Work Description: mdvorsky opened a new pull request #4904: [BEAM-3874]
Switched AvroIO default codec to snappyCodec.
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/4904
Snappy is much faster than deflate, although it generally compresses worse.
In many cases, the CPU savings from Snappy are worth the worse compression
ratio except for very long lived files or files transferred across expensive
networks.
Snappy is also the default avro codec in Spark.

>
> AvroIO currently uses CodecFactory.deflateCodec(6) as the default codec for
> writes.
> That compresses well, but is quite expensive.
> Snappy codec offers sparser, but much faster compression, and is typically a
> better CPU/storage tradeoff except for very long lived files.
> We should consider switching the default to Snappy.
