> [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-300
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Format
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> It may be useful if data is to be sent over the wire to compress the data
> buffers themselves as their being written in the file layout.
> I would propose that we keep this extremely simple with a global buffer
> compression setting in the file Footer. Probably only two compressors worth
> supporting out of the box would be zlib (higher compression ratios) and lz4
> (better performance).
> What does everyone think?
