Summary: optimize cluster size (small devices limitations) Product: openZIM Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: zimwriter AssignedTo: tommi@tntnet.org ReportedBy: manuel.schneider@wikimedia.ch CC: dev-l@openzim.org Estimated Hours: 0.0
Small devices don't have much memory. Through built-in article clustering ZIM optimizes the compression ratio of the article texts.
Currently the cluster size can be determined at ZIM-build-time by the ZIM-creator.
We must do some research to find out which cluster size is at maximum possible so the reader still works on a small device and communicate the requirements - such as "8 MB at least". This cluster size should then be the default at zimwriter.
If we not do so it can happen that a ZIM-creator chooses as cluster size which does not work on small devices, so these files can not be read there.
