In this example we use SlimArray to store daily star count of repo slim :
- The original star count file is 3129 bytes ./slim-stars-2019-02-02-to-2020-11-14.txt.
- The gzip-ed daily star count is 602 bytes ./slim-stars-2019-02-02-to-2020-11-14.txt.gz.
- The slimarray with these data is 832 bytes(run
go run slimstar.go).map[bits/elt:10 elt_width:6 mem_elts:424 mem_total:832 n:652 seg_cnt:1 span_cnt:7 spans/seg:6]
It shows that SlimArray memory cost is quite close to size of gzip-ed data. But it provides instant access to the data without the need to decompress!
go run slimstar.go
