             Summary: Allow Compressor/Decompressor APIs to expose a Direct 
ByteBuffer API
                 Key: HADOOP-10047
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10047
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: io
            Reporter: Gopal V
            Assignee: Gopal V


With the Zero-Copy reads in HDFS (HDFS-5260), it becomes important to perform 
all I/O operations without copying data into byte[] buffers or other buffers 
which wrap over them.

This is a proposal for adding new DirectCompressor and DirectDecompressor 
interfaces to the io.compress, to indicate codecs which want to surface the 
direct buffer layer upwards.

The implementation may or may not copy the buffers passed in, but should work 
with direct heap/mmap buffers and cannot assume .array() availability.
