Hi everyone,

As per spec: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/master/specification/protocol/exporter.md#opentelemetry-protocol-exporter

It says that OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_COMPRESSION environment variable should be supported, however I'm unclear as to what values it should take on. Could someone clarify? Thank you!

Only "gzip" and no compression are supported today.

@tigrannajaryan the spec doesn't say specifically what OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_COMPRESSION should be for no compression. Should it be no_compression, or empty string, or un-set?

Also wondering why GRPC deflate is excluded. Is it not well supported across GRPC implementations or for compatibility with http/json?

Spec only talks about compressions for otlp/http. It is an omission that we don't define what is possible for grpc (I didn't know deflate was supported). Let's make sure we have it in the spec.
