+ Changing Compression Schemes
+ A frequent question on the dist-list is how to change compression schemes for ColumnFamilies. This is actually quite simple,
+ and can be done via an alter command. Because the compression scheme is encoded at the block-level in StoreFiles, the table does
+ not need to be re-created and the data does not copied somewhere else. Just make sure
+ the old codec is still available until you are sure that all of the old StoreFiles have been compacted.
