Description

All of these codecs have been standardised for the Parquet file format and all have support in parquet-mr.  Note that LZO is GPL-licensed and therefore excluded. 

This improvement will allow Drill users to query more existing Parquet files, and give them more choices of codec with they write new Parquet files using Drill.
