Dynamic data compression selection
First Claim
1. A method for data decompression, the method comprising:
- receiving a data stream at data-target system from a single data source;
detecting each of a set of compressed data chunks within the data stream; and
for each compressed data chunk of at least some of the set of compressed data chunks;
identifying a compression algorithm was used to compress the compressed data chunk, wherein the compression algorithm identified to have been used to compress a first compressed data chunk of the at least some of the set of compressed data chunks is a first compression algorithm that differs from a second compression algorithm identified to have been used to compress a second compressed data chunk of the at least some of the set of compressed data chunks;
selecting a decompression algorithm based on the identified compression algorithm; and
decompressing the compressed data chunk using the decompression algorithm.

Abstract
Aspects of dynamic data compression selection are presented. In an example method, as uncompressed data chunks of a data stream are compressed, at least one performance factor affecting selection of one of multiple compression algorithms for the uncompressed data chunks of the data stream may be determined. Each of the multiple compression algorithms may facilitate a different expected compression ratio. One of the multiple compression algorithms may be selected separately for each uncompressed data chunk of the data stream based on the at least one performance factor. Each uncompressed data chunk may be compressed using the selected one of the multiple compression algorithms for the uncompressed data chunk.
