42+ --------------------------------
43+ Compression can optionally be used for communication between the driver and
44+ Cassandra. There are currently two supported compression algorithms:
45+ snappy (in Cassandra 1.2+) and LZ4 (only in Cassandra 2.0+). If either is
46+ available for the driver and Cassandra also supports it, it will
47+ be used automatically.
