> A checksum might be included with each compressed block to better detect
> errors. While some filesystems (e.g. HDFS) may checksum data, not all do.
> Data files may also accumulate errors when copied between filesystems. For
> back-compatibility, we cannot easily add checksums to existing data files,
> but a new codec provides us with the opportunity to do this.
