Scott Carey commented on AVRO-806:
----------------------------------
I think (1) is the best way to start. We could easily transition to (2) if
that made sense due to other language implementations, and (3) if it grows big
enough.
We may want to identify it separately as 'evolving' or similar so that API
changes in the next couple releases if needed can be managed more flexibly.
> add a column-major codec for data files

> Define a codec that, when a data file's schema is a record schema, writes
> blocks within the file in column-major order. This would permit better
> compression and also permit efficient skipping of fields that are not of
> interest.
