Description
Starting with MongoDB v4.2, mongodb storageEngine (wiredTiger) started supporting zstd as compression.
- Upon testing, document compression rates shown significant compression(> 40% reduction).
- Operations on nodes with MongoDB as datastore, also yielded results comparable with current default compression (snappy).
This improvement will allows applications to choose the appropriate collection compression for their usecases. By default, snappy compression will be enabled.
