> Please review this PR which proposes that we officially deprecate the 
> following four methods in the `java.util.zip` package:
> 
> * `Inflater.getTotalIn()`
> * `Inflater.getTotalOut()`
> * `Deflater.getTotalIn()`
> * `Deflater.getTotalOut()`
> 
> Since these legacy methods return `int`, they cannot safely return the number 
> of bytes processed without the risk of losing information  about the 
> magnitude or even sign of the returned value.
> 
> The corresponding methods `getBytesRead()` and `getBytesWritten()` methods 
> introduced in Java 5 return `long`, and should be used instead when obtaining 
> this information. 
> 
> Unrelated to the deprecation itself, the documentation currently does not 
> specify what these methods are expected to return when the number of 
> processed bytes is higher than `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. This PR aims to clarify 
> this in the API specification.
> 
> Initally, this PR handles only `Inflater.getTotalIn()`. The other three 
> methods will be updated once the wordsmithing for this method stabilizes.
