---------------------------------------
[~stack] The new RPC supports compression for cell blocks right? We can close
this?
> New configuration option for client-side compression

> Key: HBASE-3732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3732
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans
> Attachments: compressed_streams.jar

>
> We have a case here where we have to store very fat cells (arrays of
> integers) which can amount into the hundreds of KBs that we need to read
> often, concurrently, and possibly keep in cache. Compressing the values on
> the client using java.util.zip's Deflater before sending them to HBase proved
> to be in our case almost an order of magnitude faster.
> There reasons are evident: less data sent to hbase, memstore contains
> compressed data, block cache contains compressed data too, etc.
> I was thinking that it might be something useful to add to a family schema,
> so that Put/Result do the conversion for you. The actual compression algo
> should also be configurable.
