Bugs: GIRAPH-713
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-713


Repository: giraph-git


Description
-------

In some cases, network is much slower than all the computation stuff we do, and 
we could benefit from compressing requests.

I am using LZ4 compression. Tried out two versions of Snappy and some java 
ones, and LZ4 had the least CPU overhead, and about the same speed as Snappy. 
It's also easy to plug in your own compressor. In cases when we are not bounded 
by network, CPU overhead of using compression is about 10% (testing with 
PageRankBenchmark) and time stays about the same. Depending on how slow your 
network is and how good your data compresses this can lead to big time savings. 
Also added compression to metrics, from one of the pagerank iterations:

Testing
-------

mvn clean verify
PageRank on cluster
Added test for compressor
Verified that NoOpCompressor has the same performance as before


Thanks,
