KV-IR streams#
The key-value pair internal representation (abbreviated as KV-IR) stream format is a storage format for dynamically structured (e.g., JSON) logs. Compared to a JSON file, the KV-IR stream format is typically smaller and faster for clp-s to compress. Compared to clp-s’ archive format, the KV-IR stream format buffers less data in-memory, making it more suitable for use in resource-constrained environments and low-latency use cases (e.g., logging libraries). This section describes the format as well as the key design decisions behind it.
