Data Compression Benchmark (java, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this java project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Data Compression Benchmark

Write a program that benchmarks multiple compression algorithms on given data files, comparing compression ratio, speed, memory usage, and decompression speed across algorithms and compression levels.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept one or more file paths as command-line arguments to use as benchmark data
- Support benchmarking multiple compression algorithms: DEFLATE (gzip), bzip2, LZMA (xz), LZ4 (if available), and zlib at various compression levels
- For each algorithm, test at multiple compression levels (e.g., levels 1, 5, 9 for gzip)
- Measure and report for each combination: compression ratio (compressed/original), compression speed (MB/s), decompression speed (MB/s), peak memory usage, and wall-clock time
- Run each benchmark multiple times (configurable via --iterations flag, default 3) and report min/mean/max for timing measurements
- Support a --quick flag to test only the default compression level for each algorithm
- Generate a summary comparison table sorted by a configurable metric via --sort flag (ratio, compress-speed, decompress-speed; default: ratio)
- Verify data integrity: decompress each result and verify it matches the original via checksum comparison
- Support benchmarking with different data types via --generate flag: text (English prose), csv (tabular data), json (structured data), binary (random bytes), and mixed
- Print results as a formatted table to console
- Save the full benchmark report as JSON with --output flag (default: compression_benchmark.json)
- If no input files are given, generate sample data files of each type (1MB each), benchmark all algorithms on each, and display a comprehensive comparison matrix
- Handle errors: unsupported algorithms on the platform, out-of-memory during compression, and algorithm-specific limitations

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# Data Compression Benchmark (Java)

A tool for benchmarking compression algorithms using Apache Commons Compress.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure JDK 17+ and Maven are installed.
2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   mvn clean package
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Benchmark File**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/compress-benchmark-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar test.bin
  ```
