LZ4 and LZ4 HC Compression Request #70

Open schmitmd opened 10 years ago

schmitmd commented 10 years ago

LZ4 and LZ4 HC are a couple of compression algorithms similar to lzo, lzma, etc. They boast some cool features and if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see Cyphertite support them someday.

Can you offer some specifics on the benefits it would bring to Cyphertite?

schmitmd commented 10 years ago

The end-user may or may not notice (since the main bottleneck is bandwidth as opposed to compression), but the basic idea is simply faster/more efficient compression/decompression.

Related to this, I would like to request an option to disable compression. The data I am storing is almost exclusively binary, and while current compression techniques aren't slow, it's an unnecessary step.

This is a great suggestion. I will make sure it is on the radar for a future release.
