Hi, I've read that Couchbase compresses data in the Couchstore module using Snappy as default, just before writing to disk, and decompresses when reading from it. Couchbase has a general limit of 20MB per document, and I believe this is before any compression takes place (correct?). My question is, what would be the best practice of saving HTML documents in Couchbase. The documents can be anything from a few tens of KB to nearly one MB (uncompressed).
If I solely rely on Couchbase's compression, all documents residing in memory and different queues will be uncompressed and take up a lot of space, thereby degrading the performance of the cluster. On the other hand if we compress it using GZIP or 7Z, applying Snappy may cause the documents to be larger than the gzipped version. Let me know what you think, and let me know if I got something wrong here. Lasse Schou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase" group.
