             Summary: Allow for custom compression codecs
                 Key: PARQUET-678
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-678
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Steven Anton
            Priority: Minor


I understand that the list of accepted compression codecs is explicity limited 
to uncompressed, snappy, gzip, and lzo. (See 
parquet.hadoop.metadata.CompressionCodecName.java) Is there a reason for this? 
Or is there an easy workaround? On the surface it seems like an unnecessary 
restriction.

I ask because I have written a custom codec to implement encryption and I'm 
unable to use it with Parquet, which is a real shame because it is the main 
storage format I was hoping to use.

Other thoughts on how to implement encryption in Parquet with this limitation?
