The LZ4 compression feature is a data compression algorithm that compresses data using adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding. The LZ4 compression algorithm typically consumes less CPU than GZIP-2, but compresses better than LZJB, depending on the data that is compressed.
When LZ4 compression is set for projects and shares, replication to a target will fail if the target appliance does not support LZ4 compression. The LZ4 compression deferred update must be applied to both source and target appliances.
