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

Gemini-code-assist has summarized this pull request, which is an automated cherry-pick of #20935. The primary goal is to update the documentation for the grpc-compression-type configuration in TiKV. A note has been added to warn users that while TiKV supports "none", "deflate", and "gzip", TiDB does not support the "deflate" option for gRPC response messages sent from TiKV to TiDB. The documentation now explicitly recommends using "gzip" if compression is desired for this communication path.

Highlights

  • Documentation Update: Added a note to the tikv-configuration-file.md explaining the compatibility difference for the grpc-compression-type setting between TiKV and TiDB, specifically that TiDB does not support "deflate".
  • User Warning: The added note serves as a warning to users configuring gRPC compression between TiKV and TiDB, guiding them to use "gzip" instead of "deflate".

Changelog

  • tikv-configuration-file.md
    • Added a note under the grpc-compression-type description to clarify that TiDB does not support the "deflate" option for gRPC response messages from TiKV.
    • Recommended using "gzip" for compression between TiKV and TiDB.

Code Review

This pull request effectively adds an important warning regarding the grpc-compression-type configuration, specifically clarifying the supported compression options when TiKV communicates with TiDB. The added note is clear, well-placed, and significantly enhances user understanding, preventing potential misconfigurations. Excellent work on this clarification!

The review was guided by the TiDB Documentation Style Guide, with a focus on:

  • Clarity and Simplicity (Style Guide, lines 14, 21): Ensuring the documentation is easy to understand for TiDB users.
  • Conciseness (Style Guide, line 24): Avoiding unnecessary words.
    One minor suggestion has been provided in line with these principles.

Summary of Findings

  • Minor Conciseness Improvement: A small wording adjustment in the added note (line 146 of tikv-configuration-file.md) could enhance conciseness. Changing 'if you want to compress' to 'to compress' makes the sentence slightly more direct, aligning with style guide principles (lines 14, 24).

Merge Readiness

This PR adds a valuable warning for users configuring grpc-compression-type. The added note is clear, accurate, and well-placed. I've offered one minor suggestion for conciseness, but the change is otherwise excellent and improves the documentation significantly. The PR appears ready for merging from a content perspective.

As a reviewer, I am not authorized to approve the pull request directly; please ensure it undergoes the standard approval process by other maintainers.
