Change Details

[[https://github.com/eevans/cassandra-brotli|An experimental implementation]] of [[https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/compress/ICompressor.java|Cassandra's ICompressor interface]] has been put together, which creates a [[https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/|shaded jar]] to bundle [[https://github.com/MeteoGroup/jbrotli|needed dependencies]] (including the apropos native library). Basic (locally run) tests have proven promising in terms of performance/resource utilization, stability, and compression ratio. The next step would be to develop and execute a test methodology under less contrived conditions (multiple nodes, production-like data, and representative load).
