             Summary: [C++][FlightRPC] Benchmark compression with real data
                 Key: ARROW-12581
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12581
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++, FlightRPC
            Reporter: Yibo Cai


Flight benchmark program is using random test data as payload. Random data is 
hard to compress. Per my test, the compressed payload (zstd default level) is 
actually a bit larger than the original uncompressed payload. So compression is 
a pure loss in current benchmark.

It's better to use real world test set for a more reasonable benchmark about 
how compression influences FlightRPC performance. Perhaps the benchmark (both 
client/server) could accept a path to an IPC file as an option.
