Hi All, A quick question on compression. I saw that HBase can use LZO compression for storing data into the HFile.
Has anyone done experiments with using compressions at the application level instead instead of letting HBase handle it ? Are there advantages/disadvantages of this approach ? Is it possible to use other compression libs in Hbase other than LZO ? Also - are there best practices and/or conventions on encrypting data before storing it in HBase ? Thanks, Sam
