Data Compressor Component

The Data Compressor component applies a compression algorithm to the Raw Data objects it receives on its default Input Channel, tags the compressed data with information about the compression algorithm, and outputs it on its default Output Channel. Because it only operates on RawData, non-Raw Data objects must be converted into RawData first (e.g., with a Data Serializer ). The compression tag placed on the compressed RawData will be formatted as compressed=<compressionAlgorithm>

Data Governance

The output data item of the Data Compressor component is registered as being derived from its input data item.

Input Channels

default — Receives the RawData object that is to be compressed.

Output Channels

default — Outputs the compressed and tagged RawData object.

Parameters

algorithm — (String, default: GZIP) The name of the algorithm to use. Currently, the only supported algorithm is GZIP.
