Running kanzi/BWT transform on a block of "tra1" file from from calgary test suite generates an error message in the Go implementation (not in cpp).
Thanks for all your work !

Hi Kanzi, it seems like your code is very good and useful. However, i'm trying to use it on an image java and i'm having a lot of problems.
Is there an example of how to use it on image from reading to writing ?
I would appreciate a lot, thanks!!!
;)

Hello! I've got a Clojure project that I'd like to integrate Kanzi into. It uses Leiningen to manage dependencies, which requires it to pull from either a Maven repository (for Java projects, Maven Central is the default) or a Clojure one (for Clojure projects, Clojars is the default).

Is there a plan to get artifacts for Kanzi to be deployed into Maven Central?

For the format of Test TEXT, I tried to use TPAQ algorithm, transform: X86+RLT+TEXT, which had a good effect. However, when I tried to use the same algorithm on PDF and DOCX formats, the effect was not ideal. I would like to ask how to set the corresponding algorithm and transform

HashMap<String, Object> ctx = new HashMap<>();
        ctx.put("transform", "X86+RLT+TEXT");
        ctx.put("codec", "TPAQ");
        ctx.put("blockSize", 1024 * 1024);
        ctx.put("checksum", false);
        ctx.put("pool", pool); // not necessary if jobs = 1
        ctx.put("jobs", 4);

Running Kanzi on a 12Kb text file with default codec allocates a buffer of at least 1Gb. See BWTBlockCodec.java:
@OverRide
public int getMaxEncodedLength(int srcLen)
{
return srcLen + BWT_MAX_HEADER_SIZE + BWT.maxBlockSize();
}
Where BWT.maxBlockSize() will return a final static constant equal to 1Gb.
Is that amount of memory really required? The compressed stream should normally be of the same order as the uncompressed stream. Maybe there should be a Math.min() instead of a sum.
With Java 8 on my computer with the default memory options the process fails with an out of memory exception. I need at least -Xmx4g to make it work.
Thanks

wtf dude

bib.zip

It is available on archive.org tho

It would be nice if this

go get -d -t -v github.com/flanglet/kanzi/go/src/kanzi/benchmark

obtained the Kanzi benchmarks and all their dependencies.
However, this is the result instead:

There was an error running 'go get', stderr = github.com/flanglet/kanzi (download)
package kanzi/bitstream: unrecognized import path "kanzi/bitstream" (import path does not begin with hostname)
package kanzi/entropy: unrecognized import path "kanzi/entropy" (import path does not begin with hostname)

package kanzi/io: unrecognized import path "kanzi/io" (import path does not begin with hostname)
package kanzi/transform: unrecognized import path "kanzi/transform" (import path does not begin with hostname)

I realize this may not be fixable; it is however an issue, and preventing inclusion of the Kanzi benchmarks into a suite of benchmarks run somewhat more automatically. (See https://github.com/dr2chase/bent ).

I have tested the kanzi package with a image and the performance is fast, you really has done a great job.
But the gz format is more compressed and fastest than that snp, 18 kb aproximately. It's possible reduce the size of the snp format? Or this is not the objective of the snp format?
In my test the size buffer in .gz is the same that used in snp format 32768.

GZIPOutputStream out = new GZIPOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outfile));
byte[] buf = new byte[32768];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}

I replaced the CompressedOutputStream("None", "Snappy", out); by CompressedOutputStream(out) of the emory-util-io.jar version 2.1 and the snappy more fastest than .gz, but still the snp is bigger, aproximately 7 kb.

source has many extra white space with line break

Which LZ4 release is the code based on? Sorry if I missed in the code but I can't seem to find it.

Is the latest r129?

Hi, I apologize in advance, I'm not good enough to compile this project myself and I'm not even a programmer, so I always ask my friend to compile.
With every next version he compiles I get an error when running
no main manifest attribute, in kanzi-x.x.x.jar.
My friend says it's because a this line needs to be added in META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
Main-Class: kanzi.app.Kanzi, which must be terminated by enter.
I always have to unzip kanzi-x.x.x.jar, add this line and zip the file back again.
Is it possible to fix this in the source code so I don't have to do this?
The second thing is that my friend said that the latest version 2.1 is reporting as 2.0.0, so version probably is not overridden some in the source code.
