Dgraph: Feature request: Compression

[jimanvlad]

Any chance dgraph could support compression?

The RDF data that we send to the server can be compressed to less than 40% when gzipped. Given that upserts currently all require a query and then a mutation, the decreased throughput requirements should help significantly.

Are we talking about supporting reading of gzip compressed request body from the client?

[jimanvlad]

Yep, the ability to send Gzip compressed strings through the various
clients, and for them to be read properly on dgraph server's side.

Very useful indeed, especially with loads of requests and data going in and out of Dgraph! Also economic with ingress and egress in cloud providers.

Grpc should already support this. Let's see how best we can bring it in.

Should dgraph also support compression over HTTP? That is, handle the Accept-Encoding and Content-Encoding headers.
