Can the compressed file exported by mydumper be imported using tidb-lightning without decompressing the file?

The new version of Lighting supports importing compressed files exported by Dumpling into the cluster. The compressed files exported by Mydumper have not been tested yet. It is recommended to test with a small table first.

It’s possible to compress the dump. Why is v5.4 still using mydumper?
