The tool is theoretically safe, and has never caused any problems during testing. It does however come with NO GUARANTEES, and running it is on your own risk.
I'm not sure the input from those statistics would influence anything at this point, but since I haven't looked at any of these statistics of the string store WITH short strings in place it would at least be fun to look at. The information to be found in that data is: how many strings are reasonably short (could have been covered by one of the originally proposed short string encodings), but were not covered by the actual implementation. However, when implementing this optimization I found an embarrassing bug in my statistics code. Nothing that will harm your data, but rather make the statistics slightly misleading. Some sort of bonus points to anyone who finds it. I should perhaps fix that bug if the tool is to be used further. But on the other hand, not fixing it means that the statistics would show me how much the implementation misses because of my mistake in coding up the statistics tool, and I would actually find that interesting. I don't think I'll have time to investigate any statistics in quite a while. So if you do decide to run the tool and send data to me, I might not respond for a few weeks.
