-------------------------------------

             Summary: Use compression (e.g. snappy) for full check/savepoints
                 Key: FLINK-6773
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6773
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
            Reporter: Stefan Richter


We could use compression (e.g. snappy stream compression) to decrease the size of our full checkpoints and savepoints. From some initial experiments, I think there is great potential to achieve compression rates around 30-50%. Given those numbers, I think this is very low hanging fruit to implement.
