Summary: Brotli compression support
Key: HBASE-26959
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26959
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
Fix For: 2.5.0, 3.0.0-alpha-3
I was about to document the compression improvements upcoming in 2.5.0 and
realized we lacked support for one of the major compression formats in use
today. (Arguably brotli is not often used to compress data at rest, but is
widely supported among web browsers and HTTP servers and clients.)
Brotli support for Java is provided by Apache 2 licensed
[Brotli4j|https://github.com/hyperxpro/Brotli4j] available in Maven central.
It is not difficult to add it, so let's add it. There might be some advantage
to opting for brotli compression when storing web data given the precomputed
static dictionary of such content included in its specification.
