Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

As gemini-code-assist, I've reviewed this pull request. The main purpose of this PR is to enhance the documentation for the grpc-compression-type configuration parameter within the TiKV configuration file. It specifically adds a note to inform users about the compatibility differences between TiKV and TiDB regarding the supported compression types for gRPC communication between them. This PR appears to be an automated cherry-pick from a previous change, likely to propagate the documentation update to multiple release branches.

Highlights

  • Documentation Update: Adds a significant note to the tikv-configuration-file.md documentation.
  • Configuration Guidance: Provides a clear warning that the "deflate" compression option for grpc-compression-type is not supported by TiDB for communication from TiKV, recommending "gzip" instead for this specific use case.

Changelog

  • tikv-configuration-file.md
    • Added a note under the description of the grpc-compression-type parameter (inserted around original line 143).
    • The added note clarifies that TiDB does not support the "deflate" compression type for gRPC response messages from TiKV and advises using "gzip" if compression is desired for this path.

Code Review

The pull request adds a note to the TiKV configuration file documentation, warning users about the grpc-compression-type configuration option and its limited support in TiDB. The change is straightforward and addresses a potential misconfiguration issue. However, I have a few suggestions to improve clarity and adherence to the style guide.

Summary of Findings

  • Clarity and User Guidance: The note could benefit from a brief explanation of why TiDB doesn't support 'deflate' to provide more context for the user.
  • Style Guide Adherence: The note should be rephrased to use the second person ('you') when addressing users, as per the documentation style guide.

Merge Readiness

The pull request is almost ready for merging. Addressing the clarity and style guide issues would improve the overall quality of the documentation. I am unable to approve this pull request, and recommend that another reviewer approves this code before merging.
