    Description

      Documentation Request Summary:

      This introduces a new compressor option. You can specify --networkMessageCompressors="zlib" to mongod, mongos, and the shell to compress traffic between them using zlib.

      Engineering Ticket Description:

      MongoDB 3.4 added support for intra-cluster wire protocol compression with snappy.

      When clients start supporting wire protocol compression, we need to add support for zlib as not all languages can realistically support snappy, while "anything in the world" supports zlib.
