Compression

In the vast landscape of programming, one of the most exciting challenges developers encounter is working with data compression algorithms. These algorithms serve an invaluable purpose: they enable us to store and transmit data more efficiently, a necessity in our increasingly data-driven world. Among the myriad of data compression algorithms…

SQOA? Never heard of it… But maybe you heard of QOI? The QOI image format made a splash when it landed in 2021, introduced by Dominic Szablewski. Now SQOA wants to make a squash. All right maybe that didn’t come out very well. What is SQOA? SQOA, pronounced “seko-ah” (rhymes with “moolah”), is…

Producer can be any type of application that sends the records in batches to any kind of storage system. In our case it is kafka brokers. The data is stored in messaging system and made available to consumers listening to this particular topic. Every record will have Topic name, partition…

Hive compression techniques are generally used to reduce the amount of I/O costs ,it helps us to save storage and process the data faster. Hive provides us with different compression codecs as stated below. Types of Hive Compression Techniques: SNAPPY Optimized for speed rather than storage. Processing performance better than…

This article relies on you already knowing what the Zarr library is about. I wrote about it a few months ago. If you have used Zarr, you know how easy Zarr makes it to compress and decompress your data — compression is seamlessly integrated and requires absolutely no change in…

One day we received a new task: download a huge file on a daily basis and process it as quickly as possible to make the information available as soon as possible. The problem with usual file processing methods The usual approach involve downloading the file to disk, decompressing it, and then reading the file, which took too…
