Description:
Background innformation provided by Facebook:
Abstract:

    Allow the async client to use the compressed protocol.  Most of the
    structures are logically similar to the sync client, the main differences
    revolve around allowing the functions to be reentered. We maintain Chip's
    optimisation to minimise extra copies of the incoming packet but since
    compression does extra allocations anyway, we need to manage those extra
    buffers ourself.

Use case:

Enables compression on async client connections, which we use to reduce network traffic, especially across different datacenters.
