Joel Koshy commented on KAFKA-1499:
-----------------------------------
Yes that is correct. However, in practice I think it is still worth thinking
through how to avoid de/re-compression. This is because most companies would
set a default compression codec in the producer and use the same setting in the
broker. At least we can document this as best-practice.

> A given topic can have messages in mixed compression codecs. i.e., it can
> also have a mix of uncompressed/compressed messages.
> It will be useful to support a broker-side configuration to recompress
> messages to a specific compression codec. i.e., all messages (for all
> topics) on the broker will be compressed to this codec. We could have
> per-topic overrides as well.
