   Despite several attempts by the parquet-cpp developers, we were not
   able to reach the point where LZ4-compressed Parquet files are
   bidirectionally compatible between parquet-cpp and parquet-mr. Other
   implementations are having, or have had, similar issues.  My conclusion
   is that the Parquet spec doesn't allow independent reimplementation of
   the LZ4 compression format required by parquet-mr. Therefore, LZ4
   compression should be removed from the spec (possibly replaced with
   another enum value for a properly-specified, interoperable, LZ4-backed
   compression scheme).
   
   ```
   
   That is about as good as a rationale for removing LZ4 as I have heard
