Milestone
As per requested in https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/9657 I am adding a new one.
LZ4 is by far the fastest compression algorithm out there (at the expense of compression ratio that-is). It makes sense to have such an algorithm available on the baseline release.
We can also provide our port of our managed LZ4 implementation of the r131 (which includes acceleration) if that makes the official inclusion of an algorithm we heavily rely upon easier. We are still working on the perf front but it is currently faster than the one that we had https://github.com/Corvalius/ravendb/blob/lz4-131/src/Sparrow/Compression/LZ4.cs
