 ## Compression/Message format version issue
-Kafka supports compression, and Event Hubs for Kafka currently doesn't. Errors that mention a message-format version (for example, `The message format version on the broker does not support the request.`) are caused when a client tries to send compressed Kafka messages to our brokers.
+Event Hubs for Kafka currently supports only `gzip` compression algorithm. If any other algorithm is used, client applications will see a message-format version error (for example, `The message format version on the broker does not support the request.`).
 
-If compressed data is necessary, compressing your data before sending it to the brokers and decompressing after receiving is a valid workaround. The message body is just a byte array to the service, so client-side compression/decompression won't cause any issues.

+### Compression
+
+The client-side [compression](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Compression) feature in Apache Kafka clients conserves compute resources and bandwidth by compressing a batch of multiple messages into a single message on the producer side and decompressing the batch on the consumer side. The Apache Kafka broker treats the batch as a special message.
+
+Kafka producer application developers can enable message compression by setting the compression.type property. Azure Event Hubs currently supports `gzip` compression.

 ## Key differences between Apache Kafka and Azure Event Hubs
 
 While [Apache Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/) is software you typically need to install and operate, Event Hubs is a fully managed, cloud-native service. There are no servers, disks, or networks to manage and monitor and no brokers to consider or configure, ever. You create a namespace, which is an endpoint with a fully qualified domain name, and then you create Event Hubs (topics) within that namespace.
