• Package tsz implement time-series compression http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p1816-teller.pdf in Go*

Package tsz is a fork of github.com/dgryski/go-tsz that implements improvements over the original Gorilla paper developed by @burmann in his Master Thesis and released in https://github.com/burmanm/gorilla-tsc.

• Maximum number of leading zeros is stored with 6 bits to allow up to 63 leading zeros, which are necessary when storing long values.

• Timestamp delta-of-delta is stored by first turning it to a positive integer with ZigZag encoding and then reduced by one to fit in the necessary bits. In the decoding phase all the values are incremented by one to fetch the original value.

• The compressed blocks are created with a 27 bit delta header (unlike in the original paper, which uses a 14 bit delta header). This allows to use up to one day block size using millisecond precision.

This library is written in Go language, please refer to the guides in https://golang.org for getting started.
