Hello,

We just had a minor panic internally at my company when we realized that 
gzip compression is not enabled on any of our gRPC services. After making 
the code changes to enable gzip we then had the realization that the http2 
client/server is probably already doing compression.

A couple questions:

1) Do gRPC messages get compressed by the http2 layer by default?

2) Why would I enable gzip compression in gRPC if it is being done by 
http2? Is the answer that I shouldn't be enabling gzip compression in gRPC, 
but the flexibility is there in case I want to enable a different 
compression scheme or I'm not using http2?

I'm using the gRPC-Go, btw, if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Aaron
