[jira] [Created] (DERBY-6135) Request data compression scheme (i.e., gzip of data pages)

------------------------------------

             Summary: Request data compression scheme (i.e., gzip of data pages)
                 Key: DERBY-6135
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6135
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Store
            Reporter: Tony Brusseau


This is a request for a data compression scheme facility added to Derby (something like gzip of data pages). MySQL and some other databases provide such a feature, see:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/innodb-plugin/1.0/en/innodb-compression-internals.html

The desire for this is because my current database size is 27GB but gzipped, it goes down to 7GB. I wish to scale my database dramatically, but the current disk footprint would prevent me from being able to use Derby.
