Compression on Ignite

Does ignite compress data in memory or is the data stored as such?
If there is no default compression, do you intend to provide an option at a
later point?

While storing large amounts of data in a distributed cache, compression may
help a lot.

Ignite does not compress the memory per se, however, the binary protocol
utilized by Ignite is very compact and memory efficient.
