Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-806:
-----------------------------------
Raymie said: "... the Thrift and Protocol Buffer communities are larger than
Avro's... ".
That's certainly true for RPC, but I doubt it's true for persistent data
storage. Neither Protocol Buffers nor Thrift even offer a standard file
format. In that realm I think Avro leads both. Trevni is a file format. We
can shred Protocol Buffer and Thrift data structures to it regardless of where
it lives in the code tree.

> 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.
