 Description   

Engineering Description

Problem Statement/Rationale

When using mongodump on a distant database with --gzip option, the zipping process is performed on "client". So data is "flat" transferred, which consume a lot more data and slow down the dumping process.

This is quite summed up here : https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/mongodump-gzip-distant-database/211653

Steps to Reproduce

Run mongodump on a distant database

Expected Results

It would be nice that when using the --gzip option, the data would be zipped before being transfered on the network

Actual Results

From tests i did data is zipped on client side

Additional Notes

Any additional information that may be useful to include.
