Description:
In row-based-replication, row events usually contain full copies of
the columns being modified. Although it is possible to omit columns
which are not being changed, the full image of changed columns is
still logged no matter how much of the data changed. If only a small
portion of the data in a column is changed, much space might be
wasted.

How to repeat:
For example, modify a small part of a large blob column.

Suggested fix:
In order to reduce the size of such row events, it would be nice to
have the the ability to compress the row data part of row events.
