Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1414:
------------------------------------
This looks great. Tests pass for me and I can read the compressed file written
by C++ using Java's command line tools. +1 I will commit this soon unless
someone objects.
FYI for others, the patch for a GitHub commit can be obtained by adding
'.patch' to the url, e.g.:
https://github.com/salilab/avrocpp/compare/d8afad009069f056168a6b10600fcf91a302b95a...compression.patch

> 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
