Optional compression before encryption when using full payload encryption
Kafka supports compression out of the box but with limited effect when the data is already encrypted. To improve this, Gateway now supports compressing full payload data before it's encrypted (when the encryption interceptor is configured).
This new functionality is not enabled by default. To enable it, add the new compressionType entry in the encryption interceptor configuration to either 'gzip', 'snappy', 'lz4' or 'zstd'.
If the full payload encryption is configured for headers, record keys or record values, the respective data will now be compressed before it is encrypted.
