It seems that mongoDB compression does not work properly

      trying to compare the compression rate of mongoDB but, the results are not as expected. Here are my experiments.

          Setting compression when creating collection in mongoDB shell

          mongoDB shell> db.createCollection( "test",{storageEngine:{wiredTiger:

          Unknown macro: {configString}

          }})

          The compression options are set to 6 in total

          block_compressor = none or snappy or zlib // prefix_compression = false or true

          When checked with db.printCollectionStats(), the options were applied correctly.

          insert data size is 100KB * 100000 = about 9GB.

      but db.test.storageSize() result.

      block_compression none = 10653536256 (byte)

      block_compression snappy = 10653405184 (byte)

      block_compression zlib = 6690177024 (byte)

      zlib is about 40% compressed compared to none. but, none and snappy are not different.

      (prefix_compress is also unchanged.)

      What settings should I add?

      +UPDATE

      snappy+false
       "compression" : {
      "compressed pages read" : 0,
      "compressed pages written" : 0,
      "page written failed to compress" : 100007,
      "page written was too small to compress" : 1025
      }
       

      zlib+false
       "compression" : {
      "compressed pages read" : 0,
      "compressed pages written" : 98881,
      "page written failed to compress" : 0,
      "page written was too small to compress" : 924
      }
       

      what is "page written failed to compress" mean? What is the solution?

      +update2

      used mongoDB server version: 4.0.9
       insert data document

      $result = $collection->insertOne( ['num'=> (int)$i ,
      'title' => "$i",
      'main' => "$i",
      'img' => "$t",
      'user'=>"$users",
      'like'=> 0,
      'time'=> "$date" ] );

      --Variable Description--
      $i = 1 ~ 100,000 (Increment by 1)
      $t = 100KB(102400byt) random string
      $users = (Random 10 characters in 12134567890abcdefghij)
      $data = Real-time server date (ex = 2019:05:18 xx.xx.xx)

      index
      db.test.createIndex( { "num":1 } )
      db.test.createIndex( { "title":1 } )
      db.test.createIndex( { "user":1 } )
      db.test.createIndex( { "like":1 } )
      db.test.createIndex( { "time":1 } )
       

      collection stats is too long so I will put only two.
