The ripple-compression gem provides compression and decryption for Ripple documents. riak-ruby ripple
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ripple-compression'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ripple-compression
Compression levels vary greatly, but overall JSON seems to compress well. The larger the files I included in the tests, the better the compression rate. In the test files included, the size difference varied from -12.5% on a 232B file (it grew 29B) to 82.3% on a 85KB file (deflated to 15KB). The average file space saved in the 12 included tests is 77.5%, which you can see by running the tests. Turning up the compression level seemed to provide little benefit, but results will vary greatly.
You call the activation, which initializes a global serializer within Ripple. Any object that gets saved with content-type 'application/x-json-compressed' then goes through the Compression::Serializer, which loads or unloads the data from Riak through the JsonDocument and CompressedJsonDocument, respectively. Both of these have a dependency on Compression::Compressor, which makes the actual calls to OpenSSL.
JsonDocument stores the compressed data wrapped in JSON encapsulation so that you can still introspect the Riak object and see which version of this gem was used to compress it.
There is also a Rake file to convert between compressed and decompressed JSON objects. Try:
bundle exec rake migrate:compress
or
bundle exec rake migrate:decompress
The CPU time to compress seems trivial. We rely on the native Ruby implementation of zlib.
Include the gem in your Gemfile. Activate it somewhere in your application initialization.
Ripple::Compression::Activation.new
Then include the Ripple::Compression module in your document class:
class SomeDocument
include Ripple::Document
include Ripple::Compression
property :message, String
end
These 'SomeDocument' documents will now be stored compressed.
