Is it possible to compress a particular collection?

This is the configuration of my MongoDB :

systemLog:
  path: "C:\\log\\mg.log"
  logAppend: true
  destination: file
storage:
  dbPath: "c:\\data"
  directoryPerDB: true
  engine: wiredTiger
  wiredTiger:
    engineConfig:
      cacheSizeGB: 1

How can I Instruct the MongoDB engine to compress one particular collection?

Speaking about a particular collection I see two options for you.

  1. You can use a settings of storage when you create collection:

    db.createCollection("your_collection", 
                    { storageEngine: {
                        wiredTiger: {configString: "blockCompressor=zlib"}
                    }})

  2. OR you can compress your data on the side of application and store as binary. Probably it's better first to measure how much you will win in both cases.
