1. A method for calculating an estimated data compression ratio, comprising:
- parsing to-be-compressed data to obtain a symbol sequence;
obtaining a related indicator of the symbol sequence, wherein the related indicator is used to represent a distribution pattern of symbols in the symbol sequence;
calculating, according to the related indicator, an estimated coding length obtained after the to-be-compressed data is coded using a specified coding mode; and
using a ratio of the estimated coding length obtained by calculation to an initial length of the to-be-compressed data as an estimated compression ratio of the to-be-compressed data.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for calculating an estimated data compression ratio relate to the field of data processing technologies. In the solutions, an estimated data compression ratio is calculated using a related indicator that represents a distribution pattern of symbols in a symbol sequence, where the related indicator that represents the distribution pattern of the symbols in the symbol sequence is relatively closely related to the estimated data compression ratio.
