But, if you are compressing * many similar files, like a bunch of JSON records that share the same * structure, you can train a dictionary on ahead of time on some samples of * these files. Then, zstd can use the dictionary to find repetitions that are * present across samples. This can vastly improve compression ratio. * * When is a dictionary useful? * ---------------------------- * * Dictionaries are useful when compressing many small files that are similar. * The larger a file is, the less benefit a dictionary will have. Generally, * we don't expect dictionary compression to be effective past 100KB. And the * smaller a file is, the more we would expect the dictionary to help. * * How do I use a dictionary? * -------------------------- * * Simply pass the dictionary to the zstd compressor with * `ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary()`. The same dictionary must then be passed to * the decompressor, using `ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary()`. There are other * more advanced functions that allow selecting some options, see zstd.h for * complete documentation. * * What is a zstd dictionary? * -------------------------- * * A zstd dictionary has two pieces: Its header, and its content. The header * contains a magic number, the dictionary ID, and entropy tables. These * entropy tables allow zstd to save on header costs in the compressed file, * which really matters for small data. The content is just bytes, which are * repeated content that is common across many samples. * * What is a raw content dictionary? * --------------------------------- * * A raw content dictionary is just bytes. It doesn't have a zstd dictionary * header, a dictionary ID, or entropy tables. Any buffer is a valid raw * content dictionary. * * How do I train a dictionary? * ---------------------------- * * Gather samples from your use case. These samples should be similar to each * other. If you have several use cases, you could try to train one dictionary * per use case. * * Pass those samples to `ZDICT_trainFromBuffer()` and that will train your * dictionary. There are a few advanced versions of this function, but this * is a great starting point. If you want to further tune your dictionary * you could try `ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_cover()`. If that is too slow * you can try `ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover()`. * * If the dictionary training function fails, that is likely because you * either passed too few samples, or a dictionary would not be effective * for your data. Look at the messages that the dictionary trainer printed, * if it doesn't say too few samples, then a dictionary would not be effective. * * How large should my dictionary be? * ---------------------------------- * * A reasonable dictionary size, the `dictBufferCapacity`, is about 100KB. * The zstd CLI defaults to a 110KB dictionary. You likely don't need a * dictionary larger than that. But, most use cases can get away with a * smaller dictionary. The advanced dictionary builders can automatically * shrink the dictionary for you, and select a the smallest size that * doesn't hurt compression ratio too much. See the `shrinkDict` parameter. * A smaller dictionary can save memory, and potentially speed up * compression. * * How many samples should I provide to the dictionary builder? * ------------------------------------------------------------ * * We generally recommend passing ~100x the size of the dictionary * in samples. A few thousand should suffice. Having too few samples * can hurt the dictionaries effectiveness. Having more samples will * only improve the dictionaries effectiveness. But having too many * samples can slow down the dictionary builder. * * How do I determine if a dictionary will be effective? * ----------------------------------------------------- * * Simply train a dictionary and try it out. You can use zstd's built in * benchmarking tool to test the dictionary effectiveness. * * # Benchmark levels 1-3 without a dictionary * zstd -b1e3 -r /path/to/my/files * # Benchmark levels 1-3 with a dictionary * zstd -b1e3 -r /path/to/my/files -D /path/to/my/dictionary * * When should I retrain a dictionary? * ----------------------------------- * * You should retrain a dictionary when its effectiveness drops. Dictionary * effectiveness drops as the data you are compressing changes. Generally, we do * expect dictionaries to "decay" over time, as your data changes, but the rate * at which they decay depends on your use case. Internally, we regularly * retrain dictionaries, and if the new dictionary performs significantly * better than the old dictionary, we will ship the new dictionary. * * I have a raw content dictionary, how do I turn it into a zstd dictionary? * ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * If you have a raw content dictionary, e.g. by manually constructing it, or * using a third-party dictionary builder, you can turn it into a zstd * dictionary by using `ZDICT_finalizeDictionary()`. You'll also have to * provide some samples of the data. It will add the zstd header to the * raw content, which contains a dictionary ID and entropy tables, which * will improve compression ratio, and allow zstd to write the dictionary ID * into the frame, if you so choose. * * Do I have to use zstd's dictionary builder? * ------------------------------------------- * * No! You can construct dictionary content however you please, it is just * bytes. It will always be valid as a raw content dictionary. If you want * a zstd dictionary, which can improve compression ratio, use * `ZDICT_finalizeDictionary()`. * * What is the attack surface of a zstd dictionary? * ------------------------------------------------ * * Zstd is heavily fuzz tested, including loading fuzzed dictionaries, so * zstd should never crash, or access out-of-bounds memory no matter what * the dictionary is. However, if an attacker can control the dictionary * during decompression, they can cause zstd to generate arbitrary bytes, * just like if they controlled the compressed data. * ******************************************************************************/ /*!
