Factory data storage: Parquet optimizations yield 51x space savings over raw JSON

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A study comparing eleven different data storage formats for factory data found that while raw JSON messages are verbose, compression techniques like gzip can significantly reduce file sizes. Further optimizations in formats like Parquet, including delta-encoded timestamps and byte-stream-split floats, yielded even greater space savings, with the most efficient format being 51 times smaller than the raw data.
