Add Brotli compression to Parquet

[asfimport]

Hi,

Google release a new compression algorithm called Brotli.
A new compression algorithm for the internet, as they claim.
Currently Firefox and Chrome (both developer editions) already
support Brotli, as such as e.g. ngingx.

I'm the author of jbrotli - the Java bindings for brotli.

I'm curios and doing a survey, if jBrotli is an option for parquet?
Feedback is welcome.

Thanks in advance
Martin

[~marki], thanks for opening this issue! I've actually been testing out Brotli lately with jbrotli and didn't realize there was already an issue for it. I just submitted HADOOP-13126 to add a codec to Hadoop and I'm going to post a PR for this issue soon.
