Preface
- I need to store a field represented by an array of bytes in Elasticsearch (as is, no size increasing).
- In Elasticsearch, there is a field type called
binary(docs). It converts an array of bytes to theBase64format. - I know that when encoding an array of bytes in the form of
Base64, the data size increases by about 33 percent (related question).
Question
How can I store binary values efficiently in Elasticsearch, storage-wise, without unnecessary increasing?
