Description

ZStandard makes the release archives quite a bit smaller:

$ du -h presto-server-0.283.tar.gz
1.8G	presto-server-0.283.tar.gz

$ time gunzip -k presto-server-0.283.tar.gz -f
# about 4 s


# Compressed with `--ultra -22`, takes a couple of minutes
$ du -h presto-server-0.283.tar.zst
1.4G	presto-server-0.283.tar.zst

$ time unzstd presto-server-0.283.tar.zst -f
# about 1 s

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the build configuration (likely Maven or Gradle) to find where release archives are created. Then add ZStandard compression step and ensure it's included in the release process.
