Re:Building columnar compression in a row-oriented database by athenot on Thursday October 31, 2019 @04:47PM (#21413572)
I generally like the direction y'all are going.

Question: how does the new compression compare to TokuDB, and is it tuneable for performance/size tradeoff?

Haven't done any comparisons against TokuDB, so can't give a deep answer there. [Edit: removed incorrect bit about tuning algorithm]. We do not offer tuning yet, but this is the initial implementation, so we'll definitely be looking at what knobs we can offer in the future.
