Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-300: ------------------------------------ We have had all of the pieces in place in C++ that we need to do this since 0.6.0. I will propose metadata extensions to support compressed record batches and a trial implementation > [Format] Add buffer compression option to IPC file format > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-300 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-300 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Format > Reporter: Wes McKinney > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > > It may be useful if data is to be sent over the wire to compress the data > buffers themselves as their being written in the file layout. > I would propose that we keep this extremely simple with a global buffer > compression setting in the file Footer. Probably only two compressors worth > supporting out of the box would be zlib (higher compression ratios) and lz4 > (better performance). > What does everyone think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
