> For Java, Avro has already support of compressions such as deflate or snappy
> based on its own codec infrastructure. To support encryption, this work needs
> to extend the codec infrastructure with the ability to handle codec context
> such as the encryption keys. The reader and writer needs to be extended for
> context handling as well. Also AES codec will be implemented as the default
> encryption codec.
> To keep the compatibility of the reader and writer, new constructor and
> methods with codec context can be added instead of modifying the existing
> methods. Although there are other ways for passing in the codec context such
> as using thread local or system properties, these methods are easier to cause
> problems, not direct and not self explaining at the API level.
