Binary WAL file #19

Closed justinethier closed 2 years ago

justinethier commented 2 years ago

Does it make sense to store the WAL file using a binary encoding?

On the one hand it does make it harder for a person to understand the contents of the file, though tooling can help to a degree. On the other, this could make I/O faster and more efficient.

No plans to implement at this time.
