Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
gzip is the only supported default compression for exporter, however gzip consumes much more CPU than snappy, so it will be great to also provide snappy as supported compression.
Describe the solution you'd like
calling setCompression("snappy") for exporter will use snappy compressor.
TelemetryExporter<T> exporter = exporterBuilder().setEndpoint(endpoint).setCompression("snappy").build();
