I am currently struggling with a space optimisation problem. I can not compress data, because a star schema will be applied on them, so that I am trying to reduce the size "manually". I figured out that a lot of space is lost by storing small numbers on 8 bytes. However I can not reduce the length of a numeric variable stored on LASR server. For example: even when I upload a table with numeric variables lengths set to 3. all lengths are automatically set to 8. on the server. How can I determine this length? Is that a server configuration issue? Any help will be appreciated.
