Hi Robert,

Here is a patch for lz4 based on the v5 set of patches. The patch adapts
with the
bbsink changes, and is now able to make the provision for the required
length
for the output buffer using the new callback
function bbsink_lz4_begin_backup().

Sample command to take backup:
pg_basebackup -t server:/tmp/data_lz4 -Xnone --server-compression=lz4

Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Jeevan Ladhe
