     * This exposes a direct interface for record decompression with direct byte
     * buffers.
     * 
     * The decompress() function need not always consume the buffers provided,
     * it will need to be called multiple times to decompress an entire buffer 
     * and the object will hold the compression context internally.
     * 
     * Codecs such as {@link SnappyCodec} may or may not support partial
     * decompression of buffers and will need enough space in the destination
     * buffer to decompress an entire block.
     * 
     * The operation is modelled around dst.put(src);
     * 
     * The end result will move src.position() by the bytes-read and
     * dst.position() by the bytes-written. It should not modify the src.limit()
     * or dst.limit() to maintain consistency of operation between codecs.
     * 
     * @param src Source direct {@link ByteBuffer} for reading from. Requires src
     * != null and src.remaining() > 0
     * 
     * @param dst Destination direct {@link ByteBuffer} for storing the results
     * into. Requires dst != null and dst.remaining() to be > 0
     * 
     * @throws IOException if compression fails
