Nope. It seems totally orthogonal to me. You can always compress them after the split command.
@BurntSushi Thanks for replying! The problem is that you need to store files in the uncompressed form in the meantime. Which, for huge CSV files - which benefit from splitting the most - can be quite cumbersome. In my case I decided to mount a compressed btrfs system to satisfy xsv's requirements, but having a way to compress data before saving to the disk would IMO solve the problem better.
@d33tah See qsv snappy.
@LemmingAvalanche thanks!
Today I learned how fast
xsv split
can be. The only thing that I feel that it's missing is a--compress-program
switch (or similar) that would allow the user to compress created split files. @BurntSushi do you feel like it's a good fit for this tool?
