scottcarey commented on issue #303: AVRO-2162 Adds Zstandard compression to the
Avro File Format (Java)
URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/303#issuecomment-375438762
While writing this and adding test coverage, I ended up making a few other
clean-ups.
Do we need to add anything in the spec about this?
I also targetted the 1.8 branch because I assume that many people on older
branches might be interested. I'm still stuck on a 1.7.x branch in (hadoop)
production myself -- though that should change in a few months.

> Add Zstandard compression to avro file format
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2162
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Reporter: Scott Carey
> Priority: Major
>
> I'd like to add Zstandard compression for Avro.
> At compression level 1 It is almost as fast as Snappy at compression, with
> compression ratios more like gzip. At higher levels of compression, it is
> more compact than gzip -9 with much lower CPU when compressing and roughly 3x
> faster decompression.
>
> Adding it to Java is fairly easy. We'll need to say something about it in
> the spec however, as an 'optinal' codec.
