   > > I wonder if it might be worth adding some test to ensure this API is not 
accidentally broken / removed as part of some future refactoring
   > 
   > The API dos not add new functionality. It provides a bridge to access the 
compression function in `arrow-rs`. I don't think 'someone might remove it' is 
a good reason to add test. The person removing the code might also remove the 
test. If anyone ends up accidentally removing it, then the integration with 
`arrow-ballista` will fail. I don't see a need to add new test for this.
   
   Thank you very mucht for adding this feature, no worries for the test!
   
   In some cases, features might be lost by someone moving / refactoring the 
code as part of another change - this happened quite a few times before in 
arrow-rs / arrow-datafusion! Tests covering those code paths help avoiding 
issues like that. In ballista this might be only discovered once the version is 
updated (which may be only after a new version is released).
