The Codec$create() factory method takes the following argument:

• type: string name of the compression method. See CompressionType for a list of possible values. type may be upper- or lower-cased. Support for compression methods depends on build-time flags for the C++ library. Most builds support at least "gzip" and "snappy".

• compression_level: compression level, the default value (NA) uses the default compression level for the selected compression type.
