COMPRESSION_TOLERANCE

Sets the maximum error as the distance from the original point, tolerated by the compression algorithm. Setting a higher value will allow the output file to be compressed more. Note that this value represents the worst case so most data will be considerably closer to the original data. It is important to use a sensible value; selecting too small a value will result in excessive indexing times and poor performance.
