KAFKA Message Bus Gateway Compression Feature

Our team wants to enable compression feature in KAFKA Message bus Gateway as part of an ongoing project.
The current KAFKA MessageBus gateway version installed in the ObjectServer is 11.
The requirement was to set compression type as lz4 so that it can be received in a compressed format at downstream KAFKA end.
We tried adding the compression.type=lz4 in the KafkaClient.properties but KAFKA team confirmed that data was not getting compressed.
The feature enhancement to support compression has to be enabled in the KAFKA MessageBus Gateway.
