Something like this? This one uses the ZLIB compression, you can replace
the decompression logic with GZip one in your case.
compressedStream.map(x => {
val inflater = new Inflater()
inflater.setInput(x.getPayload)
val decompressedData = new Array[Byte](x.getPayload.size * 2)
var count = inflater.inflate(decompressedData)
var finalData = decompressedData.take(count)
while (count > 0) {
count = inflater.inflate(decompressedData)
finalData = finalData ++ decompressedData.take(count)
}
new String(finalData)
})
Thanks
Best Regards
