Move compression/decompression to an encoder specific encoding context
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-5521
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5521
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: He Yongqiang
As part of working on HBASE-5313, we want to add a new columnar
encoder/decoder. It makes sense to move compression to be part of
encoder/decoder:
1) a scanner for a columnar encoded block can do lazy decompression to a
specific part of a key value object
2) avoid an extra bytes copy from encoder to hblock-writer.
If there is no encoder specified for a writer, the HBlock.Writer will use a
default compression-context to do something very similar to today's code.
