> When I attempt to write a parquet file using lz4, zstd, or brotli compression using R arrow 0.15.0, I am unable to do so due to the codec support not being built (example below).
>  
> {code:java}
> > arrow::write_parquet(payout_strategy, sink = "records_test_lz4.parquet",compression = "lz4")
> Error in parquet___arrow___FileWriter__WriteTable(self, table, chunk_size) : 
>  Arrow error: IOError: Arrow error: NotImplemented: LZ4 codec support not built{code}
>  
> I believe that the error is generated through [https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/util/compression.cc#L124-L145], but I am not sure how to call 
> {code:java}
> install.packages("arrow"){code}
> in R to enable the ARROW_WITH_ZSTD/LZ4/BROTLI flags, or whether I should be doing installing zstd separately from arrow and then doing something pre- or post-install to link zstd with arrow. From [https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/1209], it appears that zstd support has been added to arrow and parquet in general, and the R package readme ([https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/r)|https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/r] notes "On macOS and Windows, installing a binary package from CRAN will handle Arrow's C++ dependencies for you", but I get the sense that does not apply to zstd.
>  
> Is there guidance as to how to enable zstd and other compression codecs prior to or after downloading the R arrow package? Could this be added to the R documentation somewhere for future reference?
