----------------------------------
I smashed my way out of this problem (for testing's sake) -

But that sort of proves how to do it, in a rather sad way.
> Allow Compressor/Decompressor APIs to expose a Direct ByteBuffer API

> With the Zero-Copy reads in HDFS (HDFS-5260), it becomes important to perform
> all I/O operations without copying data into byte[] buffers or other buffers
> which wrap over them.
> This is a proposal for adding new DirectCompressor and DirectDecompressor
> interfaces to the io.compress, to indicate codecs which want to surface the
> direct buffer layer upwards.
> The implementation may or may not copy the buffers passed in, but should work
> with direct heap/mmap buffers and cannot assume .array() availability.
