As of today, it's almost pointless using Gorilla or DoubleDelta codecs for time series if the performance constraints make ZSTD an affordable choice.

Thanks for the confirmaation. If your query engine can't exploit fine grained access, then general purpose compressors like lz4 or zstd with large compressed blocks are the better choice for numerical data, especially in combination with transpose (+delta).
