ZSTD Binlog Compression Support?

[Jeffrey Mealo]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade zongji (a binlog listener) that uses mysqljs to support binlog compression (ZSTD). It looks like that may need to be implemented in node-mysql/mysqljs.

If anyone has any interest or clarity on where this would belong I'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to understand if this would ever be accepted in core (given it's a somewhat niche use case and will require a zstd dependency); or if I should go ahead and fork?

Thanks,

Jeff
