Explicitly select compression option in the data reduction call. #151
Description
Continued from #146 (comment)
We allow compression of the counts when we write the reduced file.
For now, we're just checking if we have to compress the data or not and pass the boolean to the writing method.
We should allow users to explicitly control the compression option and fail earlier if it's not posisble.
Currently we check if the bitshuffle is available when we write the file, and that's probably too late.
The command line tool already has the compression option as an enum.
TODO:
- Check if the compression option is valid and available as early as possible
- Explicitly select the compression option when writing the counts to the file
- Add a short guide about how to enable bitshuffle or gzip compression and why we do that in the docs.
