Neal Richardson updated ARROW-6960:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [R] Add support for more compression codecs in Windows build
(was: [R] Add information about zstd/lz4 codec installation and linkages for R
users)
> [R] Add support for more compression codecs in Windows build
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-6960
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6960
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Environment: Windows 10
> Reporter: Grant Nguyen
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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?
