----------------------------------------
Summary: ZSTD Compressor/Decompressor support in Lucene
Key: LUCENE-9919
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9919
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core/codecs
Reporter: Praveen Nishchal
Attachments: RE_ JIRA Draft.msg
Lucene currently supports LZ4 and Zlib compression/decompression for
StoredFieldsFormat, DocValuesFormat, TermVectorsFormat and PostingsFormat
codecs. We propose Zstandard ([https://facebook.github.io/zstd/])
compression/decompression for all codecs mentioned earlier for following
reasons:
* ZStandard is being used in some of the most popular open source projects
like Apache Cassandra, Hadoop and Kafka.
* Zstandard, at the default setting of 3, is expected to show substantial
improvements in both compression and decompression speed, while compressing at
the same ratio as zlib as per study mentioned by Yann Collet at Facebook.
* Zstandard currently offers 22 different Compression levels, which enable
flexible, granular trade-offs between compression speed and ratios for future
data. For example, we can use level 1 if speed is most important and level 22
if size is most important.
* Zstandard designed to scale with modern hardware.
* Small data
- It has APIs for dictionary compression as well. Small data
compression can range anywhere from 2x to 5x better than
compression without dictionaries.
* Zstandard is being continuously improved by Facebook/Community.
