My best guess is XFS coupled with Permabit (which they just bought and will open source) compression and dedupe services. Probably layered on an enhanced mdraid too.

I'm guessing that the ZFS licensing hairball is a bridge too far for even Red Hat, so they'll cobble together equivalent-ish functionality - even if it's not anywhere near as elegant as ZFS's integral data production and reduction.
