Time Series Data Encoding for Efficient Storage: A Comparative Analysis in Apache IoTDB

Summary: Comparative study of time-series encoding schemes in Apache IoTDB, showing how scale, delta, repeat, and increase influence compression efficiency. A benchmark with a data generator and real-world datasets enables IoTDB-centric, data-feature-aware evaluation and practical encoding guidance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
