We did a similar implementation of Zstd on ScyllaDB some years back. You can see how it compared to LZ4, Snappy and Deflate. The interesting thing in comparing compression algorithms is — "what are you optimizing for?" Compression speed? Decompression speed? Storage savings? There are Tradeoffs. Getting the most storage savings might be suboptimal with a database if it adds too much latency or hampers throughput. Nicely done, Percona! https://www.scylladb.com/2019/10/07/compression-in-scylla-part-two/ https://www.scylladb.com/2019/10/07/compression-in-scylla-pa...
