Summary

The column-compression page lists the supported compression values and then says:

If not specified explicitly, Doris uses the system default compression algorithm.

…without naming which one. The default is ZSTD (FE configuration default_compression_type). Name it explicitly so users don't have to guess:

If not specified explicitly, Doris uses the default compression algorithm ZSTD (controlled by the FE configuration default_compression_type).

Applied to the current/4.x EN and zh pages. The 2.1/3.x pages don't carry this sentence, so no change there.

Reported in #2652.

Test plan

  • Default value confirmed in FE source (Config.default_compression_type = "ZSTD").
  • Dead-link check passes on the changed files.
  • CI build.

Closes #2652

The column-compression page said "If not specified explicitly, Doris uses
the system default compression algorithm" without naming it. The default is
ZSTD (FE config `default_compression_type`). Name it explicitly so users
don't have to guess. Applied to the current/4.x EN and zh pages (the 2.1/3.x
pages don't carry this sentence).

Reported in apache#2652.
