Review comment:
I think that most of the compression dependencies should be <optional>. Its
extra baggage that is not useful in any case where we aren't writing out or
reading files. It would be more consistent with the other codecs to remove
this.

> 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.
