Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-300:
-----------------------------------
+1 Compression makes sense to me and also the list of initial algorithms. High
compression ratios probably only make sense once you have cross-datacenter
traffic.
> [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Format

> 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?
