What might be useful is the ability to selectively choose what type/size of document takes advantage of compression. For very small documents compression/decompression might just be a waste. Do you have a minimum threshold for compression? Is it configurable?http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment3http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment3Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:40:11 GMTConsidering how small documents tend to be, maybe word list compression with shared dictionary would be something to consider. Just an idea. Drawbacks are obvious.http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment2http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment2Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:13:32 GMTJust a random Idea: what about using the NTFS feature to compress the complete raven-data-directory?http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment1http://ayende.com/157313/awesome-ravendb-feature-of-the-day-compression#comment1Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:32:59 GMT
