Hi Stephan, Compressing network buffers as a blob is probably the fastest/easiest way to achieve some measure of results.
But I wonder if it would be possible to implement some operations on the serialized compressed form. For example, groupings and joins should be easy to implement. If the field is not accessed in the UDF then it won't have to be deserialized. A complication would be how the compression scheme is passed on to the next nodes in the computation chain.
