Hi. I looked around for advice about Kafka compression. I've seen mixed and conflicting advice.
Is there any sorta "if X, do Y" type of documentation around Kafka compression? Any advice? Any good posts to read that talk about this trade off? *Detailed comments* I tried looking for producer vs topic compression. I didn't find much. Some of the information I see is back from 2011 (which I'm guessing is pretty stale). I can guess some potential benefits but I don't know if they are actually real. I've also seen some sites claim certain trade offs but it's unclear if they're true. It looks like I can modify an existing topic's compression. I don't know if that actually works. I'd assume it'd just impact data going forward. I've seen multiple sites say that decompression happens in the broker and multiple that say it happens in the consumer.
