> CompressedFile._initialize_compressor hardcodes the compression level used when writing:
>  
> self._compressor = zlib.compressobj(
>           zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, zlib.DEFLATED, self._gzip_mask)
>  
> It would be good to be able to control this, as I have a large set of GZIP compressed files that are creating output 10x larger then the input size when writing the same data back.
>  
> I've tried various monkeypatching approaches: these seem to work with the local runner, but failed when using DataflowRunner. For example:
>  
> class WriteData(beam.PTransform):
>     def __init__(self, dst):
>         import zlib
>         self._dst = dst
>         def _initialize_compressor(self):
>             self._compressor = zlib.compressobj(
>                 zlib.Z_BEST_COMPRESSION, zlib.DEFLATED, self._gzip_mask
>             )
>         CompressedFile._initialize_compressor = _initialize_compressor
>     def expand(self, p):
>         return p | WriteToText(
>             file_path_prefix=self._dst,
>             file_name_suffix=".tsv.gz",
>             compression_type="gzip",
>         )
