> A HFile block contain a stream of key-values. Can we can organize these kvs on the disk in a better way so that we get much greater compression ratios?
> One option (thanks Prakash) is to store all the keys in the beginning of the block (let's call this the key-section) and then store all their corresponding values towards the end of the block. This will allow us to not-even decompress the values when we are scanning and skipping over rows in the block.
> Any other ideas?
