---------------------------------------
Todd, given how this functionality shapes up, it could make lot of changes to
HDFS. Please post a design document, when the mechanism is in reasonable shape.

> In practice, we find that a lot of users store text data in HDFS without
> using any compression codec. Improving usability of compressible formats like
> Avro/RCFile helps with this, but we could also help many users by providing
> an option to transparently compress data as it is stored.
