This - JSON specific compression schemes aren't going to yield gains over AST friendly schemes unless the JSON serialization specification changes significantly.

Along these lines - shipping a schema with the data payload is avro-like ... which is also questionable in terms of efficiency when compared with gzip/LZO.

They are using gzip compression level 1. Bogus.

Are you referring to the graph, in which they set the gzip compression as "1" in order to clearly show the ratio of compression improvement that their technique has over gzip?
