This PR adds a new interface, `ShuffleCompressor`, which allows users to plug in compression for values just before they're written to shuffle. The interface is a little odd, we originally had exposed it as simply wrapping Input/Output streams. However, this interface is much more efficient: - In the compression path, the implementor can use the RandomAccessData as both a buffer pool (using scratch space at the end for example) and also compress the data "in place" if possible. Additionally, many compression algorithms can operate more efficiently on a fixed-sized buffer rather than having to deal with an unknown amount of input data. - In the decompression path, using ByteBuffer allows efficiently slicing the input and output buffers as well. Ideally I think this interface would use ByteString as well, but didn't want to expose the shaded protobuf library in the public API. Additionally this also changes most places in the shuffle IO path to use ByteString rather than byte[]. This allows efficiently "slicing" the buffer received from the shuffle reader, removing a significant number of byte[] copies. Internally we have an implementation of ShuffleCompressor that uses zstd, and we see a significant benefit from using it. For example, at level 3 (the default), a simple `read -> reshuffle -> do something` pipeline sees a 50% reduction in data shuffled for our representative test datasets.
