[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-1952) Compress file channel writes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1952?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13602560#comment-13602560 ] 

Brock Noland commented on FLUME-1952:
-------------------------------------

I don't think there is any reason not to compress with Snappy. It's so fast I highly doubt it would hurt performance.

> Compressing writes can improve the I/O cost of the file channel, at the expense of more CPU time. If the event sizes are "big enough" then the I/O time improvement might be worth it.
