Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-15881:
----------------------------------------
+1
I tried this once with LZMA, see HBASE-2987. We had trouble with LZMA
specifically because it is a super slow algorithm, HBASE-2988 was an attempt to
address it. Bzip2 should compress significantly faster in comparison. Even so
2988 would mitigate.
> Allow BZIP2 compression

> BZIP2 is a very efficient compressor in terms of compression rate.
> Compression speed is very slow, de-compression is equivalent or faster than
> GZIP.
