Description
Intel has designed a new pluggable compression framework that makes existing compression components much more modular. This framework also allows new components to be added as plugins hosted separately from the core RocksDB repository in GitHub. With this approach, developers can avoid the extra time and effort required to modify RocksDB whenever a new compression format is needed, instead focusing on optimizing the developed plugin. With this new framework, hardware-accelerated compression opportunities are now easily available to RocksDB applications with a performance uplift over pure software compute implementations.
