Daniel Russel commented on AVRO-1414:
-------------------------------------
You can find a patch for nice inspection at
<https://github.com/salilab/avrocpp/compare/compression>. I don't see an easy
way of downloading it from there though. So it is attached too.

> There is no way to use compression with the C++ DataFileReader and C++
> DataFileWriter, from what I can tell. Adding compression of the written
> blocks using boost streams is relatively straight forward and I can provide a
> patch if people are interested.
> However, there are a couple caveats:
> - the windows builds of boost don't currently include zlib support (required
> for compression) by default. You have to do extra work to get it.
> - I don't know if doing it that way is compatible with other avro
> implementations
