Hi everyone, I would like to start a discussion on KIP-640: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-640%3A+Add+log+compression+analysis+tool
This KIP outlines a new CLI tool which helps compare how the various compression types supported by Kafka reduce the size of a log (and therefore more broadly, of a topic). I've put together a PR that might help serve as a starting point for comments and suggestions. [WIP] PR: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9193 Thanks, Chris Beard
