[jira] [Commented] (TS-1521) Enable compression for binary log format

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1521?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13475191#comment-13475191 ] 

Sean Kamath commented on TS-1521:
---------------------------------

It would also be very beneficial when using a remote logging host to compress the stream to the other host.  In fact, this would be prefereable to on-disk only compression, since sending the cluster logs to an aggregator can offload the disk writes.

> As noted by in a discussion on #traffic-server, gzip can result in 90%+ compression on the binary access logs.  By adding a reasonable streaming compression algorithm to the binary format you could significantly reduce logging-related IOPS.
