Summary
Zstandard, a fast compression algorithm, is traced through four Apache Spark use cases: shuffle file compression to cut local disk IO on K8s, event log compression where it replaced LZ4 as default, ORC and Parquet data files, and MapStatus serialization. The talk also looks at Avro support targeted for Spark 3.2.
