Description

One of the new features added in MongoDB 3.0 is compression. Could these compression options please be supported, especially combined with GridFS for storing text files?

From the article on MongoDB's blog, it appears the WiredTiger Storage Engine would be required to support this functionality; not sure if this is yet supported or not.

Research direction

Review the project's current MongoDB and GridFS support, including how its Python dependency path exposes MongoDB 3.0 and WiredTiger capabilities. Determine the intended compression options and how they should work when storing text files through GridFS, then verify support against the relevant MongoDB configuration.
