Martin Radev updated ARROW-6216:
--------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Allow user to select the compression level (was: [C++]
Allow user to select the ZSTD compression level)
> [C++] Allow user to select the compression level

> Key: ARROW-6216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6216
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Martin Radev
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Time Spent: 9h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The compression level selected in Arrow for ZSTD is 1 which is the minimal
> compression level for the compressor. This leads to very high compression
> speed at the sacrifice of compression ratio.
> The user should be allowed to select the compression level as both speed and
> ratio are data specific.
> The proposed solution is to expose the knob via an environment variable such
> as ARROW_ZSTD_COMPRESSION_LEVEL.
> Example:
> export ARROW_ZSTD_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=10
> ./my_parquet_app
> Here is a test run with compression levels of 1, 2 and 5:
> Level Time (s) Size (mb)
> 1 13.02 181
> 2 13.10 177
> 5 19.44 148
