In general yes, but probbaly not with a single instance of it (and you may need 
to adapt something).

BlockLZ4CompressorInputStream should be able to read a single block, but it 
wont be able to detect the end of the LZ4 block unless the underlying stream is 
exhausted. There is no way to identify the last sequence other than via EOF.

If your header contains information about the compressed size of your
block(s) then you can wrap the current input stream into a BoundedInputStream 
that returns EOF once the block has been read completely. You then create a 
BlockLZ4CompressorInputStream wrapped around the BoundedInputStream - and do 
this for each stripe.

This is pretty much is what FramedLZ4CompressorInputStream does as well.

Things get a bit more complex if match offsets of stripe 2 are allowed to point 
into the contents of stripe 1. FramedLZ4CompressorInputStream handles this in 
the case where "block dependency" is expected.
