[gpfsug-discuss] Mmapplypolicy: Can I compress lists on the fly, before write to disk?

[Billich Heinrich Rainer (ID)]

Hello,

Can I compress file-lists generated by mmapplypolicy on-the-fly, i.e. before they get written to disk? I write lists with extra Metadata for each file, which tend to get large. 

I use this rule and run it with "-I defer"

RULE 'allFiles'
   LIST 'lst'
   SHOW('! '||
        vc(FILE_SIZE)        ||';'|| 
        MODE                 ||';'|| 
        vc(MODIFICATION_TIME)||';'|| 
        ... some more ...
        vc(MODIFICATION_SNAPID)      
        ||' !')
   DIRECTORIES_PLUS


Thank you,

Heiner
