title: Could gzip compression cause data corruption?
body: <p>I'm trying to come up with a solution to compress few petabytes of data I have which will be stored in AWS S3. I was thinking of using gzip compression and was wondering if compression could corrupt data. I tried searching but was not able to find any specific instances where gzip compression actually corrupted the data such that it was no longer recoverable.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for such question, but do I need to verify if data was correctly compressed? Also, any specific examples/data points would help.</p>
