Hi Trafodioneers, My network skills are very limited, and I was wondering if somewhere in the communication stack, some encoding can take advantage of transferring data that is full of 0, vs random bytes.
Like RLE for example… The reason I am asking, is that part of predicate pushdown V3, the one that will support align format, I am considering optimizing returned data, and silence columns that are not required. For variable length columns that are not needed, that is easy, I will just return ‘’. But for fixed length columns, I was wondering if forcing to 0 columns that we don’t need would result in optimized payload… it would if the network stack have a layer that is doing RLE type encoding. Is that the case? Thanks in advance for the help, Eric
