Hello Bobby,
If it's possible to enable a TupleSerializer while submitting
topologies, without touching Storm's internals it would be really wise
and a fast way to implement compression. Actually I have no idea if it's
possible this way.
Other than that, If I got the Netty's gist right, to enable Zlib
compression one needs only 2 lines of code for each pipeline to enable
it. It's first class citizen of netty. Looking into
https://github.com/netty/netty/tree/master/codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/compression
a good chunk of compression algorithms are also available.
From
https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/ed4a89082bb29b9e7d869c5d25d6b9ea8fc9d25b/example/src/main/java/io/netty/example/factorial/FactorialClientInitializer.java:
// Enable stream compression (you can remove these two if
unnecessary)
pipeline.addLast(ZlibCodecFactory.newZlibEncoder(ZlibWrapper.GZIP));
pipeline.addLast(ZlibCodecFactory.newZlibDecoder(ZlibWrapper.GZIP));
