I tried the compression tool on a log created by YCSB in "load" mode with the 
standard dataset. Since the values are fairly large here (100 bytes) it didn't 
get a huge compression ratio - from about 64MB down to 52MB (~20%). But still 
not bad. I looked at the resulting data using xxd and it looks like there's 
still a number of places where we could use variable length integers instead of 
non-variable length. I wrote a quick C program to count the number of 0x00 
bytes in the log and found about 3MB worth (~5%). Since the actual table data 
is all human-readable text in this case, all of the 0x00s should be able to be 
compressed away, I think.

I also tested on a YCSB workload where each row has 1000 columns of 4 bytes 
each (similar to an indexing workload) and the compression ratio was 60% (64M 
down to 25M) with another 4.2MB of 0x00 bytes which could probably be removed.

    invert the order of these || clauses - otherwise you get an out-of-bounds 
just running the tool with no arguments

    I think the better way of expressing this usage would be:
    
    WALCompressor [-u | -c] <input> <output>
    
      -u - uncompresses the input log
      -c - compresses the output log
    
    Exactly one of -u or -c must be specified

    this code doesn't work properly. Here's what you want to do:
    
          Configuration conf = new Configuration();
          FileSystem fs = path.getFileSystem(conf);

> The current bottleneck to HBase write speed is replicating the WAL appends 
> across different datanodes. We can speed up this process by compressing the 
> HLog. Current plan involves using a dictionary to compress table name, region 
> id, cf name, and possibly other bits of repeated data. Also, HLog format may 
> be changed in other ways to produce a smaller HLog.
