# S2 Compression
S2 is an extension of [Snappy](https://github.com/google/snappy).
S2 is aimed for high throughput, which is why it features concurrent compression for bigger payloads.
Decoding is compatible with Snappy compressed content, but content compressed with S2 cannot be decompressed by Snappy.
This means that S2 can seamlessly replace Snappy without converting compressed content.
S2 can produce Snappy compatible output, faster and better than Snappy.
If you want full benefit of the changes you should use s2 without Snappy compatibility.
S2 is designed to have high throughput on content that cannot be compressed.
This is important, so you don't have to worry about spending CPU cycles on already compressed data.
## Benefits over Snappy
* Better compression
* Adjustable compression (3 levels)
* Concurrent stream compression
* Faster decompression, even for Snappy compatible content
* Ability to quickly skip forward in compressed stream
* Compatible with reading Snappy compressed content
* Smaller block size overhead on incompressible blocks
* Block concatenation
* Uncompressed stream mode
* Automatic stream size padding
* Snappy compatible block compression
## Drawbacks over Snappy
* Not optimized for 32 bit systems.
* Streams use slightly more memory due to larger blocks and concurrency (configurable).
# Usage
Installation: `go get -u github.com/klauspost/compress/s2`

## Compression
```Go
func EncodeStream(src io.Reader, dst io.Writer) error {
enc := s2.NewWriter(dst)
_, err := io.Copy(enc, src)
if err != nil {
enc.Close()
return err
}
// Blocks until compression is done.
return enc.Close()
}
```
You should always call `enc.Close()`, otherwise you will leak resources and your encode will be incomplete.
For the best throughput, you should attempt to reuse the `Writer` using the `Reset()` method.
The Writer in S2 is always buffered, therefore `NewBufferedWriter` in Snappy can be replaced with `NewWriter` in S2.
It is possible to flush any buffered data using the `Flush()` method.
This will block until all data sent to the encoder has been written to the output.
S2 also supports the `io.ReaderFrom` interface, which will consume all input from a reader.
As a final method to compress data, if you have a single block of data you would like to have encoded as a stream,
a slightly more efficient method is to use the `EncodeBuffer` method.
This will take ownership of the buffer until the stream is closed.
```Go
func EncodeStream(src []byte, dst io.Writer) error {
enc := s2.NewWriter(dst)
// The encoder owns the buffer until Flush or Close is called.
err := enc.EncodeBuffer(buf)
if err != nil {
enc.Close()
return err
}
// Blocks until compression is done.
return enc.Close()
}
```
Each call to `EncodeBuffer` will result in discrete blocks being created without buffering,
so it should only be used a single time per stream.
If you need to write several blocks, you should use the regular io.Writer interface.
## Decompression
```Go
func DecodeStream(src io.Reader, dst io.Writer) error {
dec := s2.NewReader(src)
_, err := io.Copy(dst, dec)
return err
}
```
Similar to the Writer, a Reader can be reused using the `Reset` method.
For the best possible throughput, there is a `EncodeBuffer(buf []byte)` function available.
However, it requires that the provided buffer isn't used after it is handed over to S2 and until the stream is flushed or closed.
For smaller data blocks, there is also a non-streaming interface: `Encode()`, `EncodeBetter()` and `Decode()`.
Do however note that these functions (similar to Snappy) does not provide validation of data,
so data corruption may be undetected. Stream encoding provides CRC checks of data.
It is possible to efficiently skip forward in a compressed stream using the `Skip()` method.
For big skips the decompressor is able to skip blocks without decompressing them.
## Single Blocks
Similar to Snappy S2 offers single block compression.
Blocks do not offer the same flexibility and safety as streams,
but may be preferable for very small payloads, less than 100K.
Using a simple `dst := s2.Encode(nil, src)` will compress `src` and return the compressed result.
It is possible to provide a destination buffer.
If the buffer has a capacity of `s2.MaxEncodedLen(len(src))` it will be used.
If not a new will be allocated.
Alternatively `EncodeBetter`/`EncodeBest` can also be used for better, but slightly slower compression.
Similarly to decompress a block you can use `dst, err := s2.Decode(nil, src)`.
Again an optional destination buffer can be supplied.
The `s2.DecodedLen(src)` can be used to get the minimum capacity needed.
If that is not satisfied a new buffer will be allocated.
Block function always operate on a single goroutine since it should only be used for small payloads.
# Commandline tools
Some very simply commandline tools are provided; `s2c` for compression and `s2d` for decompression.
Binaries can be downloaded on the [Releases Page](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/releases).
Installing then requires Go to be installed. To install them, use:
`go install github.com/klauspost/compress/s2/cmd/s2c && go install github.com/klauspost/compress/s2/cmd/s2d`
To build binaries to the current folder use:
`go build github.com/klauspost/compress/s2/cmd/s2c && go build github.com/klauspost/compress/s2/cmd/s2d`
## s2c

```
## s2sx: self-extracting archives
s2sx allows creating self-extracting archives with no dependencies.
By default, executables are created for the same platforms as the host os,
but this can be overridden with `-os` and `-arch` parameters.
Extracted files have 0666 permissions, except when untar option used.
```
Usage: s2sx [options] file1 file2
Compresses all files supplied as input separately.
If files have '.s2' extension they are assumed to be compressed already.
Output files are written as 'filename.s2sx' and with '.exe' for windows targets.
If output is big, an additional file with ".more" is written. This must be included as well.
By default output files will be overwritten.
Wildcards are accepted: testdir/*.txt will compress all files in testdir ending with .txt
Directories can be wildcards as well. testdir/*/*.txt will match testdir/subdir/b.txt
Options:
-arch string

```
Available platforms are:
* darwin-amd64
* darwin-arm64
* linux-amd64
* linux-arm
* linux-arm64
* linux-mips64
* linux-ppc64le
* windows-386
* windows-amd64
By default, there is a size limit of 1GB for the output executable.
When this is exceeded the remaining file content is written to a file called
output+`.more`. This file must be included for a successful extraction and
placed alongside the executable for a successful extraction.
This file *must* have the same name as the executable, so if the executable is renamed,
so must the `.more` file.
This functionality is disabled with stdin/stdout.
### Self-extracting TAR files
If you wrap a TAR file you can specify `-untar` to make it untar on the destination host.
Files are extracted to the current folder with the path specified in the tar file.
Note that tar files are not validated before they are wrapped.
For security reasons files that move below the root folder are not allowed.
# Performance
This section will focus on comparisons to Snappy.
This package is solely aimed at replacing Snappy as a high speed compression package.
If you are mainly looking for better compression [zstandard](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/zstd#zstd)
gives better compression, but typically at speeds slightly below "better" mode in this package.
Compression is increased compared to Snappy, mostly around 5-20% and the throughput is typically 25-40% increased (single threaded) compared to the Snappy Go implementation.
Streams are concurrently compressed. The stream will be distributed among all available CPU cores for the best possible throughput.
A "better" compression mode is also available. This allows to trade a bit of speed for a minor compression gain.
The content compressed in this mode is fully compatible with the standard decoder.

### Legend
* `S2 speed`: Speed of S2 compared to Snappy, using 16 cores and 1 core.
* `S2 throughput`: Throughput of S2 in MB/s.
* `S2 % smaller`: How many percent of the Snappy output size is S2 better.
* `S2 "better"`: Speed when enabling "better" compression mode in S2 compared to Snappy.
* `"better" throughput`: Speed when enabling "better" compression mode in S2 compared to Snappy.
* `"better" % smaller`: How many percent of the Snappy output size is S2 better when using "better" compression.
There is a good speedup across the board when using a single thread and a significant speedup when using multiple threads.
Machine generated data gets by far the biggest compression boost, with size being being reduced by up to 45% of Snappy size.
The "better" compression mode sees a good improvement in all cases, but usually at a performance cost.
Incompressible content (`sharnd.out.2gb`, 2GB random data) sees the smallest speedup.
This is likely dominated by synchronization overhead, which is confirmed by the fact that single threaded performance is higher (see above).
## Decompression
S2 attempts to create content that is also fast to decompress, except in "better" mode where the smallest representation is used.

### Legend
* `S2 Throughput`: Decompression speed of S2 encoded content.
* `Better Throughput`: Decompression speed of S2 "better" encoded content.
* `vs Snappy`: Decompression speed of S2 "better" mode compared to Snappy and absolute speed.
While the decompression code hasn't changed, there is a significant speedup in decompression speed.
S2 prefers longer matches and will typically only find matches that are 6 bytes or longer.
While this reduces compression a bit, it improves decompression speed.
The "better" compression mode will actively look for shorter matches, which is why it has a decompression speed quite similar to Snappy.
Without assembly decompression is also very fast; single goroutine decompression speed. No assembly:
| File | S2 Throughput | S2 throughput |
|--------------------------------|--------------|---------------|
| consensus.db.10gb.s2 | 1.84x | 2289.8 MB/s |

| adresser.json.s2 | 3.41x | 4230.53 MB/s |
| silesia.tar.s2 | 1.52x | 811.58 |
Even though S2 typically compresses better than Snappy, decompression speed is always better.
## Block compression
When compressing blocks no concurrent compression is performed just as Snappy.
This is because blocks are for smaller payloads and generally will not benefit from concurrent compression.
An important change is that incompressible blocks will not be more than at most 10 bytes bigger than the input.
In rare, worst case scenario Snappy blocks could be significantly bigger than the input.
### Mixed content blocks
The most reliable is a wide dataset.
For this we use [`webdevdata.org-2015-01-07-subset`](https://files.klauspost.com/compress/webdevdata.org-2015-01-07-4GB-subset.7z),
53927 files, total input size: 4,014,735,833 bytes. Single goroutine used.
| * | Input | Output | Reduction | MB/s |
|-------------------|------------|------------|-----------|--------|
| S2 | 4014735833 | 1059723369 | 73.60% | **934.34** |
| S2 Better | 4014735833 | 969670507 | 75.85% | 532.70 |
| S2 Best | 4014735833 | 906625668 | **77.85%** | 46.84 |
| Snappy | 4014735833 | 1128706759 | 71.89% | 762.59 |
| S2, Snappy Output | 4014735833 | 1093821420 | 72.75% | 908.60 |
| LZ4 | 4014735833 | 1079259294 | 73.12% | 526.94 |
S2 delivers both the best single threaded throughput with regular mode and the best compression rate with "best".
"Better" mode provides the same compression speed as LZ4 with better compression ratio.
When outputting Snappy compatible output it still delivers better throughput (150MB/s more) and better compression.
As can be seen from the other benchmarks decompression should also be easier on the S2 generated output.
Though they cannot be compared due to different decompression speeds here are the speed/size comparisons for
other Go compressors:
| * | Input | Output | Reduction | MB/s |
|-------------------|------------|------------|-----------|--------|
| Zstd Fastest (Go) | 4014735833 | 794608518 | 80.21% | 236.04 |
| Zstd Best (Go) | 4014735833 | 704603356 | 82.45% | 35.63 |
| Deflate (Go) l1 | 4014735833 | 871294239 | 78.30% | 214.04 |
| Deflate (Go) l9 | 4014735833 | 730389060 | 81.81% | 41.17 |
### Standard block compression
Benchmarking single block performance is subject to a lot more variation since it only tests a limited number of file patterns.
So individual benchmarks should only be seen as a guideline and the overall picture is more important.
These micro-benchmarks are with data in cache and trained branch predictors. For a more realistic benchmark see the mixed content above.
Block compression. Parallel benchmark running on 16 cores, 16 goroutines.
AMD64 assembly is use for both S2 and Snappy.

Speed is generally at or above Snappy. Small blocks gets a significant speedup, although at the expense of size.
Decompression speed is better than Snappy, except in one case.
Since payloads are very small the variance in terms of size is rather big, so they should only be seen as a general guideline.
Size is on average around Snappy, but varies on content type.
In cases where compression is worse, it usually is compensated by a speed boost.
### Better compression
Benchmarking single block performance is subject to a lot more variation since it only tests a limited number of file patterns.
So individual benchmarks should only be seen as a guideline and the overall picture is more important.

Except for the mostly incompressible JPEG image compression is better and usually in the
double digits in terms of percentage reduction over Snappy.
The PDF sample shows a significant slowdown compared to Snappy, as this mode tries harder
to compress the data. Very small blocks are also not favorable for better compression, so throughput is way down.
This mode aims to provide better compression at the expense of performance and achieves that
without a huge performance penalty, except on very small blocks.
Decompression speed suffers a little compared to the regular S2 mode,
but still manages to be close to Snappy in spite of increased compression.
# Best compression mode
S2 offers a "best" compression mode.
This will compress as much as possible with little regard to CPU usage.
Mainly for offline compression, but where decompression speed should still
be high and compatible with other S2 compressed data.
Some examples compared on 16 core CPU, amd64 assembly used:

Decompression speed should be around the same as using the 'better' compression mode.
# Snappy Compatibility
S2 now offers full compatibility with Snappy.
This means that the efficient encoders of S2 can be used to generate fully Snappy compatible output.
There is a [snappy](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/snappy) package that can be used by
simply changing imports from `github.com/golang/snappy` to `github.com/klauspost/compress/snappy`.
This uses "better" mode for all operations.
If you would like more control, you can use the s2 package as described below:
## Blocks
Snappy compatible blocks can be generated with the S2 encoder.
Compression and speed is typically a bit better `MaxEncodedLen` is also smaller for smaller memory usage. Replace
| Snappy | S2 replacement |
|----------------------------|-------------------------|
| snappy.Encode(...) | s2.EncodeSnappy(...) |
| snappy.MaxEncodedLen(...) | s2.MaxEncodedLen(...) |
`s2.EncodeSnappy` can be replaced with `s2.EncodeSnappyBetter` or `s2.EncodeSnappyBest` to get more efficiently compressed snappy compatible output.
`s2.ConcatBlocks` is compatible with snappy blocks.

| s2.EncodeSnappyBest | 944507998 | 66.00 | 76.47% |
## Streams
For streams, replace `enc = snappy.NewBufferedWriter(w)` with `enc = s2.NewWriter(w, s2.WriterSnappyCompat())`.
All other options are available, but note that block size limit is different for snappy.

# Decompression
All decompression functions map directly to equivalent s2 functions.
| Snappy | S2 replacement |
|------------------------|--------------------|
| snappy.Decode(...) | s2.Decode(...) |
| snappy.DecodedLen(...) | s2.DecodedLen(...) |
| snappy.NewReader(...) | s2.NewReader(...) |
Features like [quick forward skipping without decompression](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/klauspost/compress/s2#Reader.Skip)
are also available for Snappy streams.
If you know you are only decompressing snappy streams, setting [`ReaderMaxBlockSize(64<<10)`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/klauspost/compress/s2#ReaderMaxBlockSize)
on your Reader will reduce memory consumption.
# Concatenating blocks and streams.
Concatenating streams will concatenate the output of both without recompressing them.
While this is inefficient in terms of compression it might be usable in certain scenarios.
The 10 byte 'stream identifier' of the second stream can optionally be stripped, but it is not a requirement.
Blocks can be concatenated using the `ConcatBlocks` function.
Snappy blocks/streams can safely be concatenated with S2 blocks and streams.
# Format Extensions
* Frame [Stream identifier](https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/framing_format.txt#L68) changed from `sNaPpY` to `S2sTwO`.
* [Framed compressed blocks](https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/format_description.txt) can be up to 4MB (up from 64KB).
* Compressed blocks can have an offset of `0`, which indicates to repeat the last seen offset.
Repeat offsets must be encoded as a [2.2.1. Copy with 1-byte offset (01)](https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/master/format_description.txt#L89), where the offset is 0.
The length is specified by reading the 3-bit length specified in the tag and decode using this table:
| Length | Actual Length |
|--------|----------------------|
| 0 | 4 |
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 6 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 8 |
| 5 | 8 + read 1 byte |
| 6 | 260 + read 2 bytes |
| 7 | 65540 + read 3 bytes |
This allows any repeat offset + length to be represented by 2 to 5 bytes.
Lengths are stored as little endian values.
The first copy of a block cannot be a repeat offset and the offset is not carried across blocks in streams.
Default streaming block size is 1MB.
