(Moved from datafusion-orc repo: datafusion-contrib/datafusion-orc#136)
See if there was any interest in using libcramjam.
There's probably further use/simplification available here, and could anyway help libcramjam's implementation. It's presently used in python's cramjam package that has served quite well.
datafusion-orc could make use of other codecs as well with low overhead that are already part of libcramjam (brotli, bzip2, xz, etc and the ISA-L backed zlib/deflate/gzip algorithms which are quite a bit faster than flate2 w/ zlib-ng [1] (at the expense of more C code and reduced compression level options 0, 1, 3)
I was blissfully unaware there existed a MIT friendly LZO implementation so might add that to libcramjam as well going forward.
