In this video, I delved into time series databases and the importance of compression algorithms like Delta encoding. By storing data efficiently using Delta encoding and variable length integer encoding, significant space savings can be achieved without losing any data points. I demonstrated the impact of these techniques through practical examples and benchmarking. Leveraging such compression methods is crucial for optimizing storage and retrieval efficiency in time series databases. Exploring and implementing these concepts can greatly enhance one's engineering skills and understanding of database internals.

Neat, your previous video on how databases store integers with variable length encoding was also cool.
thank you for detailed walkthrough, Arpit! Just curious - did you get a chance to compare the extra processing time needed to reconstruct the original values? It would be good to know actual space/time trade-off that we gain/lose when employing varint+delta compression.
Interesting idea of storing delta instead of actual values. Does the time series db applications run this compression method over a sample and figures out whether it will save memory and then use this method, or it might be used by default?
But what about retrieval of data, rather than O(1) it would take O(n) to get the data. And do they use checkpoints in between to reduce the number of pages need to load in memory for this retrieval?

Yes but you almost never look at an individual data point in TS data, you mainly use it for statistical analysis.
Can engineering students enroll in the course?

Beginners course, yes; but not the masterclass. Masterclass is pretty dense and requires some prior experience.
Thanks good topic, hard to understand the accent
