Of course, and the default is off.
However I think it would be good to have an API so application can
decide what to compress and what not.
I agree that an API would be good. However I don't think using the API
should allow an application to write compressed data if the file system
has that functionality turned off. Its a policy thing if the admin has
compression off it is off for a reason. Or maybe what we need is another
property value for compression that allows the app to request it but by
default we don't do it.
*Only* if we fail to come up with a mechanism to do this properly,
efficiently automagically.
Which bit did you mean ? The API itself or the policy part ?
