GZIP Request and Response Configuration

[sedovalx]

Here is how I create a client:

AthenaClient
    .builder()
    .region(Region.of(environment.aws.region))
    .credentialsProvider(DefaultCredentialsProvider.create())
    .overrideConfiguration {
        it.apiCallTimeout(Duration.ofMillis(environment.athena.executionTimeout.toLong()))
//                    it.gzipEnabled(true)
//                    it.totalExecutionTimeout(Duration.ofMillis(environment.athena.executionTimeout.toLong()))
    }
    .build()

Previously I could use the gzipEnabled property to enable gzip encoding, it is absent now. Can you give me an example of setting it up?

Right now, GZIP usage is determined automatically based on the service and HTTP implementation itself. There's no flag to force it on. Is this causing you latency issues?

I'm doing queries to Athena and its responses might be relatively big json entities. So yes, it may cause problems but I haven't done any measurements yet. Just migrating from 2.0.0-preview-9 and have noticed that response data from Athena came without compressing. The same for DynamoDb.

Migrating this to a feature request to add the option of enabling HTTP-level compressing. This would be on the HTTP client implementation itself.

You MAY be able to workaround this by adding a custom header Accept-Encoding: gzip.

Something like this

GetQueryResults.builder()
   .overrideConfiguration(o -> o.putHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip"))
   .build()
