Feature request: Add support for ALP (Adaptive Lossless floating-Point Compression)

[kou]

Describe the bug

Sorry. This is not a bug. This is a feature request.

ALP (Adaptive Lossless floating-Point Compression) may be a good codec for Blosc. It's a lossless floating-point compression algorithm for double/float. It seems that it's a high speed and high compression algorithm:

• Implementation: https://github.com/cwida/ALP
• Paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3626717
• DuckDB integration: https://duckdb.org/2024/02/13/announcing-duckdb-0100.html#adaptive-lossless-floating-point-compression-alp

Are you interesting in this algorithm?

If we add support for ALP, we may do it as a codec like ZFP not a filter.
