Thanks for the answer, but I would like to keep the indexes but
compress some literals that will never be search of filtered in the
triples store. Those literals will be use if I ask for the triple of
an application X.

For example, DNA sequence can have thousands and thousands of
characters lenght. I want them into the triplestore, but if the were
compress, I would save a lot of space on the hardrive.

Thanks,

Marc-Alexandre
