Joe Witt commented on NIFI-2827:
--------------------------------
Thanks for contributing an example patch. Adding support for these is fine but
we'll definitely want the key things related to compression levels included.
We use specific libraries for specific compression types (or at least had in
the past) because different libraries gave different trade-offs including for
things like memory usage/etc.. We'll likely retain that unless research has
been done to show it is no longer necessary. In any case adding new
compression/decompression types is often painless and certain commons compress
helps a lot there. So happy to add support for these but we'll need someone to
write up the full patch and someone to review it. Truthfully these days
basically all patches that make it in go through Github/Pull Requests because
there is some extremely helpful automation that comes along with that to reduce
the review timeline.
Thanks

> brotli and zstd are gaining lots of momentum across the IoT sphere and I
