Major Compression Use Case Missing in Couchbase

[eldorado]

Hi @perry
looks like you have more insight on Data Compression and Decompression .
Need help on Storage Compression . Can you please give any insights on my existing thread ?

CB Compressed data 1 M in 1GB .... for 48 keys/ columns that's insane

Are you sure about that? 150M documents in 50MB would be 0.3 bytes per document. Did you mean 50 GB? JSON is inherently less space-efficient than statically-typed columns. The flexible schema implies that every document has to describe the names of its properties. Single-document compression doesn’t help that much because a property name usually only occurs once per document. Is using 150GB of space causing problems for you? That’s only a few dollars of storage, at current…

thanks and appreciate /
