Use smart_open library to transparently decompress files #49

Closed Carbyne closed 6 years ago

Carbyne commented 6 years ago

As most rnaseq and other data files will be compressed, we should be using a library properly suited for streaming large compressed files. The smart_open library is made for this, and can also stream from AWS S3, Hadoop and straight HTTP servers which is pretty useful.
