There is some confusion over the compression rate metrics, as the meaning of the value isn't clearly stated in the metric description. In this case, it was assumed that a higher compression rate value meant better compression. This PR clarifies the meaning of the value, to prevent misunderstandings. Alternative approaches that were considered were to either change the name of the metric or its implementation, but this would have a negative impact on those who are already making use of this metric. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
