Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-300: ------------------------------------ I'm sorry for the delay. With the 0.3 Arrow release done, it would be good to make a push on compression and encoding. How about we start a Google Document that supports public comments and you can give edit support to whomever you like? Once we agree on the design, one of us can make a pull request containing the Flatbuffer metadata for the compression / encoding details. Does that sound good? > [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-300 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-300 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Format > Reporter: Wes McKinney > > It may be useful if data is to be sent over the wire to compress the data > buffers themselves as their being written in the file layout. > I would propose that we keep this extremely simple with a global buffer > compression setting in the file Footer. Probably only two compressors worth > supporting out of the box would be zlib (higher compression ratios) and lz4 > (better performance). > What does everyone think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
