jirapos...@reviews.apache.org commented on HBASE-4608: ------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail. To reply, visit: https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#review4853 ----------------------------------------------------------- I tried the compression tool on a log created by YCSB in "load" mode with the standard dataset. Since the values are fairly large here (100 bytes) it didn't get a huge compression ratio - from about 64MB down to 52MB (~20%). But still not bad. I looked at the resulting data using xxd and it looks like there's still a number of places where we could use variable length integers instead of non-variable length. I wrote a quick C program to count the number of 0x00 bytes in the log and found about 3MB worth (~5%). Since the actual table data is all human-readable text in this case, all of the 0x00s should be able to be compressed away, I think. I also tested on a YCSB workload where each row has 1000 columns of 4 bytes each (similar to an indexing workload) and the compression ratio was 60% (64M down to 25M) with another 4.2MB of 0x00 bytes which could probably be removed. src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/Compressor.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment10650> invert the order of these || clauses - otherwise you get an out-of-bounds just running the tool with no arguments src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/Compressor.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment10651> I think the better way of expressing this usage would be: WALCompressor [-u | -c] <input> <output> -u - uncompresses the input log -c - compresses the output log Exactly one of -u or -c must be specified src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/Compressor.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/2740/#comment10649> this code doesn't work properly.
