S2 Compression

S2 is an extension of Snappy.

S2 is aimed for high throughput, which is why it features concurrent compression for bigger payloads.

Decoding is compatible with Snappy compressed content, but content compressed with S2 cannot be decompressed by Snappy. This means that S2 can seamlessly replace Snappy without converting compressed content.

S2 is designed to have high throughput on content that cannot be compressed. This is important so you don't have to worry about spending CPU cycles on already compressed data.

Benefits over Snappy

  • Better compression
  • Concurrent stream compression
  • Faster decompression
  • Ability to quickly skip forward in compressed stream
  • Compatible with reading Snappy compressed content
  • Offers alternative, more efficient, but slightly slower compression mode.
  • Smaller block size overhead on incompressible blocks.
  • Block concatenation
  • Automatic stream size padding.
  • Snappy compatible block compression.

Drawbacks over Snappy

  • Not optimized for 32 bit systems.
  • Uses slightly more memory (4MB per core) due to larger blocks and concurrency (configurable).

Usage

Installation: go get -u github.com/gofiber/compress/s2

Compression

func EncodeStream(src io.Reader, dst io.Writer) error {
    enc := s2.NewWriter(dst)
    _, err := io.Copy(enc, src)
    if err != nil {
        enc.Close()
        return err
    }
    // Blocks until compression is done.
    return enc.Close() 
}

You should always call enc.Close(), otherwise you will leak resources and your encode will be incomplete.

For the best throughput, you should attempt to reuse the Writer using the Reset() method.

The Writer in S2 is always buffered, therefore NewBufferedWriter in Snappy can be replaced with NewWriter in S2. It is possible to flush any buffered data using the Flush() method. This will block until all data sent to the encoder has been written to the output.

S2 also supports the io.ReaderFrom interface, which will consume all input from a reader.

As a final method to compress data, if you have a single block of data you would like to have encoded as a stream, a slightly more efficient method is to use the EncodeBuffer method. This will take ownership of the buffer until the stream is closed.

func EncodeStream(src []byte, dst io.Writer) error {
    enc := s2.NewWriter(dst)
    // The encoder owns the buffer until Flush or Close is called.
    err := enc.EncodeBuffer(buf)
    if err != nil {
        enc.Close()
        return err
    }
    // Blocks until compression is done.
    return enc.Close()
}

Each call to EncodeBuffer will result in discrete blocks being created without buffering, so it should only be used a single time per stream. If you need to write several blocks, you should use the regular io.Writer interface.

Decompression

func DecodeStream(src io.Reader, dst io.Writer) error        
    dec := s2.NewReader(src)
    _, err := io.Copy(dst, dec)
    return err
}

Similar to the Writer, a Reader can be reused using the Reset method.

For the best possible throughput, there is a EncodeBuffer(buf []byte) function available. However, it requires that the provided buffer isn't used after it is handed over to S2 and until the stream is flushed or closed.

For smaller data blocks, there is also a non-streaming interface: Encode(), EncodeBetter() and Decode(). Do however note that these functions (similar to Snappy) does not provide validation of data, so data corruption may be undetected. Stream encoding provides CRC checks of data.

It is possible to efficiently skip forward in a compressed stream using the Skip() method. For big skips the decompressor is able to skip blocks without decompressing them.

Single Blocks

Similar to Snappy S2 offers single block compression. Blocks do not offer the same flexibility and safety as streams, but may be preferable for very small payloads, less than 100K.

Using a simple dst := s2.Encode(nil, src) will compress src and return the compressed result. It is possible to provide a destination buffer. If the buffer has a capacity of s2.MaxEncodedLen(len(src)) it will be used. If not a new will be allocated. Alternatively EncodeBetter can also be used for better, but slightly slower compression.

Similarly to decompress a block you can use dst, err := s2.Decode(nil, src). Again an optional destination buffer can be supplied. The s2.DecodedLen(src) can be used to get the minimum capacity needed. If that is not satisfied a new buffer will be allocated.

Block function always operate on a single goroutine since it should only be used for small payloads.

Commandline tools

Some very simply commandline tools are provided; s2c for compression and s2d for decompression.

Binaries can be downloaded on the Releases Page.

Installing then requires Go to be installed. To install them, use:

go install github.com/gofiber/compress/s2/cmd/s2c && go install github.com/gofiber/compress/s2/cmd/s2d

To build binaries to the current folder use:

go build github.com/gofiber/compress/s2/cmd/s2c && go build github.com/gofiber/compress/s2/cmd/s2d

Performance

This section will focus on comparisons to Snappy. This package is solely aimed at replacing Snappy as a high speed compression package. If you are mainly looking for better compression zstandard gives better compression, but typically at speeds slightly below "better" mode in this package.

Compression is increased compared to Snappy, mostly around 5-20% and the throughput is typically 25-40% increased (single threaded) compared to the Snappy Go implementation.

Streams are concurrently compressed. The stream will be distributed among all available CPU cores for the best possible throughput.

A "better" compression mode is also available. This allows to trade a bit of speed for a minor compression gain. The content compressed in this mode is fully compatible with the standard decoder.

  • S2 speed: Speed of S2 compared to Snappy, using 16 cores and 1 core.
  • S2 throughput: Throughput of S2 in MB/s.
  • S2 % smaller: How many percent of the Snappy output size is S2 better.
  • S2 "better": Speed when enabling "better" compression mode in S2 compared to Snappy.
  • "better" throughput: Speed when enabling "better" compression mode in S2 compared to Snappy.
  • "better" % smaller: How many percent of the Snappy output size is S2 better when using "better" compression.

There is a good speedup across the board when using a single thread and a significant speedup when using multiple threads.

Machine generated data gets by far the biggest compression boost, with size being being reduced by up to 45% of Snappy size.

The "better" compression mode sees a good improvement in all cases, but usually at a performance cost.

Incompressible content (sharnd.out.2gb, 2GB random data) sees the smallest speedup. This is likely dominated by synchronization overhead, which is confirmed by the fact that single threaded performance is higher (see above).

Decompression

S2 attempts to create content that is also fast to decompress, except in "better" mode where the smallest representation is used.

  • S2 Throughput: Decompression speed of S2 encoded content.
  • Better Throughput: Decompression speed of S2 "better" encoded content.
  • vs Snappy: Decompression speed of S2 "better" mode compared to Snappy and absolute speed.

While the decompression code hasn't changed, there is a significant speedup in decompression speed. S2 prefers longer matches and will typically only find matches that are 6 bytes or longer. While this reduces compression a bit, it improves decompression speed.

The "better" compression mode will actively look for shorter matches, which is why it has a decompression speed quite similar to Snappy.

Without assembly decompression is also very fast; single goroutine decompression speed. No assembly:

File S2 Throughput S2 throughput
consensus.db.10gb.s2 1.84x 2289.8 MB/s
10gb.tar.s2 1.30x 867.07 MB/s

adresser.json.s2 3.41x 4230.53 MB/s
silesia.tar.s2 1.52x 811.58

Even though S2 typically compresses better than Snappy, decompression speed is always better.

Block compression

When compressing blocks no concurrent compression is performed just as Snappy. This is because blocks are for smaller payloads and generally will not benefit from concurrent compression.

An important change is that incompressible blocks will not be more than at most 10 bytes bigger than the input. In rare, worst case scenario Snappy blocks could be significantly bigger than the input.

Mixed content blocks

The most reliable is a wide dataset. For this we use webdevdata.org-2015-01-07-subset, 53927 files, total input size: 4,014,526,923 bytes. Single goroutine used.

* Input Output Reduction MB/s
S2 4014526923 1062282489 73.54% 861.44
S2 Better 4014526923 981221284 75.56% 399.54
Snappy 4014526923 1128667736 71.89% 741.29
S2, Snappy Output 4014526923 1093784815 72.75% 843.66

S2 delivers both the best single threaded throuhput with regular mode and the best compression rate with "better" mode.

When outputting Snappy compatible output it still delivers better throughput (100MB/s more) and better compression.

As can be seen from the other benchmarks decompression should also be easier on the S2 generated output.

Standard block compression

Benchmarking single block performance is subject to a lot more variation since it only tests a limited number of file patterns. So individual benchmarks should only be seen as a guideline and the overall picture is more important.

These micro-benchmarks are with data in cache and trained branch predictors. For a more realistic benchmark see the mixed content above.

Block compression. Parallel benchmark running on 16 cores, 16 goroutines.

AMD64 assembly is use for both S2 and Snappy.

Speed is generally at or above Snappy. Small blocks gets a significant speedup, although at the expense of size.

Decompression speed is better than Snappy, except in one case.

Since payloads are very small the variance in terms of size is rather big, so they should only be seen as a general guideline.

Size is on average around Snappy, but varies on content type. In cases where compression is worse, it usually is compensated by a speed boost.

Better compression

Except for the mostly incompressible JPEG image compression is better and usually in the double digits in terms of percentage reduction over Snappy.

The PDF sample shows a significant slowdown compared to Snappy, as this mode tries harder to compress the data. Very small blocks are also not favorable for better compression, so throughput is way down.

This mode aims to provide better compression at the expense of performance and achieves that without a huge performance pentalty, except on very small blocks.

Decompression speed suffers a little compared to the regular S2 mode, but still manages to be close to Snappy in spite of increased compression.

Concatenating streams will concatenate the output of both without recompressing them. While this is inefficient in terms of compression it might be usable in certain scenarios. The 10 byte 'stream identifier' of the second stream can optionally be stripped, but it is not a requirement.

Blocks can be concatenated using the ConcatBlocks function.

Snappy blocks/streams can safely be concatenated with S2 blocks and streams.

Format Extensions

  • Frame Stream identifier changed from sNaPpY to S2sTwO.
  • Framed compressed blocks can be up to 4MB (up from 64KB).
  • Compressed blocks can have an offset of 0, which indicates to repeat the last seen offset.

Repeat offsets must be encoded as a 2.2.1. Copy with 1-byte offset (01), where the offset is 0.

The length is specified by reading the 3-bit length specified in the tag and decode using this table:

Length Actual Length
0 4
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8
5 8 + read 1 byte
6 260 + read 2 bytes
7 65540 + read 3 bytes

This allows any repeat offset + length to be represented by 2 to 5 bytes.

Lengths are stored as little endian values.

The first copy of a block cannot be a repeat offset and the offset is not carried across blocks in streams.

Default streaming block size is 1MB.

Overview

Package s2 implements the S2 compression format.

S2 is an extension of Snappy. Similar to Snappy S2 is aimed for high throughput, which is why it features concurrent compression for bigger payloads.

Decoding is compatible with Snappy compressed content, but content compressed with S2 cannot be decompressed by Snappy.

For more information on Snappy/S2 differences see README in: https://github.com/gofiber/compress/tree/master/s2

There are actually two S2 formats: block and stream. They are related, but different: trying to decompress block-compressed data as a S2 stream will fail, and vice versa. The block format is the Decode and Encode functions and the stream format is the Reader and Writer types.

A "better" compression option is available. This will trade some compression speed

The block format, the more common case, is used when the complete size (the number of bytes) of the original data is known upfront, at the time compression starts. The stream format, also known as the framing format, is for when that isn't always true.

Blocks to not offer much data protection, so it is up to you to add data validation of decompressed blocks.

Streams perform CRC validation of the decompressed data. Stream compression will also be performed on multiple CPU cores concurrently significantly improving throughput.

Functions

func ConcatBlocks 

func ConcatBlocks(dst []byte, blocks ...[]byte) ([]byte, error)

ConcatBlocks will concatenate the supplied blocks and append them to the supplied destination. If the destination is nil or too small, a new will be allocated. The blocks are not validated, so garbage in = garbage out. dst may not overlap block data. Any data in dst is preserved as is, so it will not be considered a block.

func Decode 

func Decode(dst, src []byte) ([]byte, error)

Decode returns the decoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire decoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.

The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.

func DecodedLen 

func DecodedLen(src []byte) (int, error)

DecodedLen returns the length of the decoded block.

func Encode 

func Encode(dst, src []byte) []byte

Encode returns the encoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire encoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.

The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.

The blocks will require the same amount of memory to decode as encoding, and does not make for concurrent decoding. Also note that blocks do not contain CRC information, so corruption may be undetected.

If you need to encode larger amounts of data, consider using the streaming interface which gives all of these features.

func EncodeBetter 

func EncodeBetter(dst, src []byte) []byte

EncodeBetter returns the encoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire encoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.

EncodeBetter compresses better than Encode but typically with a 10-40% speed decrease on both compression and decompression.

The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.

The blocks will require the same amount of memory to decode as encoding, and does not make for concurrent decoding. Also note that blocks do not contain CRC information, so corruption may be undetected.

If you need to encode larger amounts of data, consider using the streaming interface which gives all of these features.

func EncodeSnappy 

func EncodeSnappy(dst, src []byte) []byte

EncodeSnappy returns the encoded form of src. The returned slice may be a sub- slice of dst if dst was large enough to hold the entire encoded block. Otherwise, a newly allocated slice will be returned.

The output is Snappy compatible and will likely decompress faster.

The dst and src must not overlap. It is valid to pass a nil dst.

The blocks will require the same amount of memory to decode as encoding, and does not make for concurrent decoding. Also note that blocks do not contain CRC information, so corruption may be undetected.

If you need to encode larger amounts of data, consider using the streaming interface which gives all of these features.

func MaxEncodedLen 

func MaxEncodedLen(srcLen int) int

MaxEncodedLen returns the maximum length of a snappy block, given its uncompressed length.

It will return a negative value if srcLen is too large to encode. 32 bit platforms will have lower thresholds for rejecting big content.

Types

type Reader 

type Reader struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Reader is an io.Reader that can read Snappy-compressed bytes.

func NewReader 

func NewReader(r io.Reader) *Reader

NewReader returns a new Reader that decompresses from r, using the framing format described at https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/framing_format.txt with S2 changes.

func (*Reader) Read 

func (r *Reader) Read(p []byte) (int, error)

Read satisfies the io.Reader interface.

func (*Reader) Reset 

func (r *Reader) Reset(reader io.Reader)

Reset discards any buffered data, resets all state, and switches the Snappy reader to read from r. This permits reusing a Reader rather than allocating a new one.

func (*Reader) Skip 

func (r *Reader) Skip(n int64) error

Skip will skip n bytes forward in the decompressed output. For larger skips this consumes less CPU and is faster than reading output and discarding it. CRC is not checked on skipped blocks. io.ErrUnexpectedEOF is returned if the stream ends before all bytes have been skipped. If a decoding error is encountered subsequent calls to Read will also fail.

type Writer 

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Writer is an io.Writer that can write Snappy-compressed bytes.

func NewWriter 

func NewWriter(w io.Writer, opts ...WriterOption) *Writer

NewWriter returns a new Writer that compresses to w, using the framing format described at https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/framing_format.txt

Users must call Close to guarantee all data has been forwarded to the underlying io.Writer and that resources are released. They may also call Flush zero or more times before calling Close.

func (*Writer) Close 

func (w *Writer) Close() error

Close calls Flush and then closes the Writer. Calling Close multiple times is ok.

func (*Writer) EncodeBuffer 

func (w *Writer) EncodeBuffer(buf []byte) (err error)

EncodeBuffer will add a buffer to the stream. This is the fastest way to encode a stream, but the input buffer cannot be written to by the caller until this function, Flush or Close has been called.

Note that input is not buffered. This means that each write will result in discrete blocks being created. For buffered writes, use the regular Write function.

func (*Writer) Flush 

func (w *Writer) Flush() error

Flush flushes the Writer to its underlying io.Writer. This does not apply padding.

func (*Writer) ReadFrom 

func (w *Writer) ReadFrom(r io.Reader) (n int64, err error)

ReadFrom implements the io.ReaderFrom interface. Using this is typically more efficient since it avoids a memory copy. ReadFrom reads data from r until EOF or error. The return value n is the number of bytes read. Any error except io.EOF encountered during the read is also returned.

func (*Writer) Reset 

func (w *Writer) Reset(writer io.Writer)

Reset discards the writer's state and switches the Snappy writer to write to w. This permits reusing a Writer rather than allocating a new one.

func (*Writer) Write 

func (w *Writer) Write(p []byte) (nRet int, errRet error)

Write satisfies the io.Writer interface.

type WriterOption 

type WriterOption func(*Writer) error

WriterOption is an option for creating a encoder.

func WriterBetterCompression 

func WriterBetterCompression() WriterOption

WriterBetterCompression will enable better compression. EncodeBetter compresses better than Encode but typically with a 10-40% speed decrease on both compression and decompression.

func WriterBlockSize 

func WriterBlockSize(n int) WriterOption

WriterBlockSize allows to override the default block size. Blocks will be this size or smaller. Minimum size is 4KB and and maximum size is 4MB.

Bigger blocks may give bigger throughput on systems with many cores, and will increase compression slightly, but it will limit the possible concurrency for smaller payloads for both encoding and decoding. Default block size is 1MB.

func WriterConcurrency 

func WriterConcurrency(n int) WriterOption

WriterConcurrency will set the concurrency, meaning the maximum number of decoders to run concurrently. The value supplied must be at least 1. By default this will be set to GOMAXPROCS.

func WriterPadding 

func WriterPadding(n int) WriterOption

WriterPadding will add padding to all output so the size will be a multiple of n. This can be used to obfuscate the exact output size or make blocks of a certain size. The contents will be a skippable frame, so it will be invisible by the decoder. n must be > 0 and <= 4MB. The padded area will be filled with data from crypto/rand.Reader. The padding will be applied whenever Close is called on the writer.
