What is the motivation behind this feature request? Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Knowing that there's quite some data that can very well be compressed (e.g. the Genome AD dataset) using tools like ZStandard (we've hit 90% compression on some of those .car files), bandwidth would greatly benefit from being able to compress the datastream coming out of retrieval deals.
Describe the solution you'd like
ZST could implemented as it supports streaming - if its used on both sides, a much higher throughput can be reached.
This will especially be useful as we're looking into the Evergreen project right now.
