Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a profiler configured to associate compression profiles with unpacked data units, each of the unpacked data units having allocated space for storing field data for each field in a master set of fields, but only carrying values for a subset of fields in the master set, each of the compression profiles indicating a specific combination of value-carrying fields in the master set of fields, and packed value lengths for the indicated value-carrying fields; and a data packer component configured to generate packed field data for a given unpacked data unit based on a given compression profile, of the compression profiles, that the profiler associated with the given unpacked data unit, the packed field data including values for the specific combination of value-carrying fields indicated by the given compression profile, the values condensed within the packed field data to corresponding packed value lengths specified by the given compression profile, the data packer component further configured to store or transmit the packed field data in association with information identifying the given compression profile.
