May 2025 monthly summary for windmill-labs/tantivy. Delivered Opt-in Zstandard compression for SStable data, enabling flexible performance and footprint trade-offs. Updated build configuration and data reader logic to apply Zstd only when enabled, preserving compatibility across deployment scenarios. No major bugs fixed this month; effort focused on feature delivery, build infra improvements, and establishing groundwork for future performance tuning. Business value includes reduced storage and bandwidth needs where compression is beneficial, while keeping a safe default for existing deployments.
