Hi,
how do you select between client- and serverside compression? i'm using
hector and i set compression when creating a cf, so the compression
executes when inserting the data "on the server" oO

Hi,
I was curious if I compress my data on the client side with Snappy
whether there's any difference between doing that and doing it on the
server side? The wiki said that compression works best where each row
has the same columns. Does this mean the compression will be more
efficient on the server side since it can look at multiple rows at
once instead of only the row being inserted? The reason I was
thinking about possibly doing it client side was that it would save
CPU on the datastore machine. However, does this matter? Is CPU
typically the bottleneck on a machine or is it some other resource?
(of course this will vary for each person, but wondering if there's a
rule of thumb. I'm making a web app, which hopefully will store about
5TB of data and have 10s of millions of page views per month)
Thanks,
Ben
