The logic is implemented so as there can be a choice in the compression used when building a WAL record, and an extra per-record bit is used to track down if a block is compressed with PGLZ, LZ4 or nothing. wal_compression, the existing parameter, is changed to an enum with support for the following backward-compatible values: - "off", the default, to not use compression. - "pglz" or "on", to compress FPWs with PGLZ. - "lz4", the new mode, to compress FPWs with LZ4. Benchmarking has showed that LZ4 outclasses easily PGLZ. ZSTD would be also an interesting choice, but going just with LZ4 for now makes the patch minimalistic as toast compression is already able to use LZ4, so there is no need to worry about any build-related needs for this implementation.
