Description
Hi,
Google release a new compression algorithm called Brotli.
A new compression algorithm for the internet, as they claim.
Currently Firefox and Chrome (both developer editions) already
support Brotli, as such as e.g. ngingx.
http://google-opensource.blogspot.de/2015/09/introducing-brotli-new-compression.html
I'm the author of jbrotli - the Java bindings for brotli.
I'm curios and doing a survey, if jBrotli is an option for parquet?
Feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Martin

Research direction
Start by reading the linked parquet-format issue #267 and Hadoop issue HADOOP-13126, then review PR #344 for existing work. The issue does not name files or tests and asks for feedback about whether jBrotli is suitable, so completion depends on a settled scope and an agreed implementation path.
