Usage Examples

Basic Usage with Custom Config
fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm:         compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	Level:             3,
	PreserveExtension: true,  // file.txt -> file.txt.zst
	StripExtension:    true,  // access via "file.txt"
})
Using Preset Configurations
// Recommended (Zstd level 3, skip already-compressed)
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithRecommendedConfig(base)

// Fastest (LZ4)
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithFastestConfig(base)

// Best Compression (Brotli level 11)
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithBestCompression(base)
Skip Already-Compressed Files
fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	SkipPatterns: []string{
		`\.(jpg|png|gif|mp4)$`,  // Media files
		`\.(zip|gz|bz2)$`,       // Archives
	},
})
Minimum File Size Filtering
fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	MinSize:   1024,  // Only compress files >= 1KB
})
Compression Statistics
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithRecommendedConfig(base)

// ... perform operations ...

stats := fs.GetStats()
fmt.Printf("Files compressed: %d\n", stats.FilesCompressed)
fmt.Printf("Bytes written: %d\n", stats.BytesWritten)
fmt.Printf("Compression ratio: %.2f%%\n", stats.TotalCompressionRatio()*100)
Compress/Decompress Bytes
// Compress bytes
compressed, _ := compressfs.CompressBytes(data, compressfs.AlgorithmZstd, 3)

// Decompress bytes
decompressed, _ := compressfs.DecompressBytes(compressed, compressfs.AlgorithmZstd)

// Auto-detect compression
algo, found := compressfs.DetectCompressionAlgorithm(data)

Advanced Features

The SmartConfig automatically selects optimal algorithms based on file types:

// Smart configuration with intelligent defaults
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithSmartConfig(base)

// Files are automatically routed to optimal algorithms:
// - *.log files → LZ4 (fast)
// - *.json, *.xml → Zstd level 6 (balanced)
// - *.tmp files → Snappy (very fast)
// - Source code → Zstd level 3 (default)
// - Already compressed → Skipped

fs.Create("app.log")      // Compressed with LZ4
fs.Create("config.json")  // Compressed with Zstd level 6
fs.Create("readme.md")    // Compressed with Zstd level 3
File-Specific Algorithm Rules

Define custom rules to route different file types to optimal algorithms:

config := &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	Level:     3,
	AlgorithmRules: []compressfs.AlgorithmRule{
		// Critical data: maximum compression
		{
			Pattern:   `^/important/`,
			Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmBrotli,
			Level:     11,
		},
		// Logs: fast compression
		{
			Pattern:   `\.log$`,
			Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmLZ4,
			Level:     0,
		},
		// Cache: very fast
		{
			Pattern:   `^/cache/`,
			Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmSnappy,
		},
	},
}

fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, config)

// Each file uses the matching rule's algorithm
fs.Create("/important/secrets.txt")  // Brotli level 11
fs.Create("application.log")         // LZ4
fs.Create("/cache/temp.dat")         // Snappy
fs.Create("document.txt")            // Default Zstd level 3
Auto-Tuning Compression Levels

Automatically adjust compression levels based on file size for optimal performance:

config := &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm:             compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	Level:                 6, // High compression for small files
	EnableAutoTuning:      true,
	AutoTuneSizeThreshold: 1024 * 1024, // 1MB threshold
}

fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, config)

// Small files (< 1MB) use level 6 for good compression
// Large files (> 1MB) automatically use level 1-2 for speed
// Very large files (> 10MB) use level 1 for maximum speed
Zstd Dictionary Compression

Use pre-trained dictionaries for improved compression of similar files:

// Train dictionary from sample files (in practice)
samples := [][]byte{
	[]byte("sample data 1..."),
	[]byte("sample data 2..."),
}
dictionary := compressfs.TrainZstdDictionary(samples, 100*1024) // 100KB dict

config := &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm:      compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	Level:          3,
	ZstdDictionary: dictionary,
}

fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, config)

// Files are compressed with dictionary for better ratios
// Especially effective for many similar small files
Preset Configurations
High Performance (Maximum Speed)
// Optimized for throughput and low latency
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithHighPerformance(base)

// - Uses LZ4 algorithm (fastest)
// - Large buffers (256KB)
// - Parallel compression enabled
// - Skips very small files
Archival (Maximum Compression)
// Optimized for long-term storage
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithArchival(base)

// - Uses Brotli level 11 (best compression)
// - Different algorithms for different file types
// - No auto-tuning (always maximum compression)
// Balanced compression and speed
fs, _ := compressfs.NewWithRecommendedConfig(base)

// - Uses Zstd level 3
// - Skips already-compressed formats
// - Skips files < 512 bytes
Combining Advanced Features
config := &compressfs.Config{
	Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
	Level:     3,

	// Route file types to optimal algorithms

Integration with Other absfs Wrappers

// Stack multiple wrappers
s3 := s3fs.New("my-bucket", config)
encrypted := encryptfs.New(s3, encryptConfig)
compressed := compressfs.NewWithRecommendedConfig(encrypted)
cached := cachefs.New(compressed, cacheConfig)

// All layers work together transparently

Testing

The package includes comprehensive tests:

# Run all tests
go test

# Run with coverage
go test -cover

# Run benchmarks
go test -bench=. -benchtime=1s

# Specific benchmark
go test -bench=BenchmarkZstdWrite

Test Coverage: 40+ tests covering:

  • All 5 compression algorithms
  • Multiple compression levels
  • Large files (1MB+)
  • Empty files
  • Extension detection
  • Magic byte detection
  • Statistics tracking
  • Edge cases

Performance Tips

  1. Choose the right algorithm:

    • Zstd level 3 for most use cases
    • LZ4 for maximum speed
    • Brotli level 11 for static content
  2. Use skip patterns to avoid compressing already-compressed files

  3. Set MinSize to skip very small files (overhead not worth it)

  4. Adjust buffer size based on your workload:

    • Larger buffers (256KB) for bulk operations
    • Smaller buffers (32KB) for many small files
  5. Enable PreserveExtension + StripExtension for transparent operation

Overview

Package compressfs provides a transparent compression/decompression wrapper for any absfs.FileSystem implementation.

It automatically compresses data when writing files and decompresses when reading, supporting multiple compression algorithms with configurable levels and smart content detection.

Features

  • Transparent compression/decompression
  • 5 compression algorithms: gzip, zstd, lz4, brotli, snappy
  • Configurable compression levels
  • Skip patterns for selective compression
  • Automatic format detection
  • Statistics tracking
  • Empty file handling
  • Large file support

Quick Start

import (
    "github.com/absfs/compressfs"
    "github.com/absfs/osfs"
)

// Create base filesystem
base := osfs.New("/data")

// Wrap with zstd compression (recommended)
fs, _ := compressfs.New(base, &compressfs.Config{
    Algorithm: compressfs.AlgorithmZstd,
    Level:     3,
})

// Write file - automatically compressed as data.txt.zst
f, _ := fs.Create("data.txt")
f.Write([]byte("Hello, compressed world!"))
f.Close()

// Read file - automatically decompressed
f, _ = fs.Open("data.txt")
data, _ := io.ReadAll(f)
f.Close()

Algorithm Selection Guide

Choose based on your requirements:

  • General Purpose: Zstd (level 3) - Best balance of speed and compression
  • Maximum Speed: LZ4 or Snappy - Ultra-fast, moderate compression
  • Maximum Compression: Brotli (level 9-11) - Best for static content
  • Maximum Compatibility: Gzip - Universally supported
  • CPU-Constrained: Snappy - Lowest CPU usage

Performance Characteristics

Compression speeds (4KB files):

  • LZ4: 642 MB/s (fastest)
  • Snappy: 77 MB/s (very fast, low CPU)
  • Gzip: 12 MB/s (compatible)
  • Brotli: 6 MB/s (best compression)
  • Zstd: 4 MB/s (recommended - best ratio/speed balance)

Configuration Options

Extension Handling:

  • PreserveExtension: true → file.txt becomes file.txt.zst
  • StripExtension: true → access via "file.txt" (transparent)

Selective Compression:

  • SkipPatterns: Skip files matching regex patterns
  • MinSize: Only compress files above threshold
  • AutoDetect: Detect and handle pre-compressed files

See examples in the examples directory for more usage patterns.
