Our dataset has rows which are highly compressible with respect to adjacent rows. As I understand it, Bigtable supports automatic compression (via SSTable block compression). It would make a huge difference to us if Spanner can or will support similar compression at the database level. We project this to make a 3-5x difference in our cost structure. While we could consider trying to do so at the application layer, it isn't much fun at all...
