Sourygna Luangsay commented on CHUKWA-664:
------------------------------------------
Here is a first patch that adds the compression feature. I have tried it with
DefaultCodec, GzipCodec, BZip2Codec and it seems OK.
If it looks good, I'll submit another patch with the current changes in the
documentation.
Though everything seems to work, there is something that I don't really
understand. I have tcpdumped network traffic and when compression is enabled, I
can't see any more the HTTP POST protocol appearing in Wireshark. I just see
various TCP segments that hold my Chukwa chunk, but I can't see any higher
protocol than TCP. What is more, using the same file (19KB) to compare between
compress (size compress: 7.6 KB) and uncompressed tcpdumps, I have noticed that
I get more (smaller) TCP segments with compressed communication than with
uncompressed communication. Could someone enlightens me?
