    - #### compress

          public static boolean compress(byte[] in,
                                         int len,
                                         byte[] tmp,
                                         DataOutput out)
                                  throws IOException

      Compress `in[0:len]` into `out`. This returns `false` if the content cannot be compressed. The number of bytes written is guaranteed to be less than `len` otherwise.
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### decompress

          public static void decompress(DataInput in,
                                        byte[] out,
                                        int len)
                                 throws IOException

      Decompress data that has been compressed with `compress(byte[], int, byte[], DataOutput)`. `len` must be the original length, not the compressed length.
      Throws:
        `IOException`
