Add configuration options for compression

**Description**
Currently hooks lacks proper retry support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable retry with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The title asks about compression, while the description asks for configurable retry support in hooks; first resolve that mismatch and locate the hooks configuration and retry handling. Done should mean the intended configuration options are defined, sensible defaults are documented, and the relevant behavior is covered by tests if the repository provides them.
