Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-9188:
-------------------------------------
That's right. It's a bit doubtful whether Brotli-compressed files are in wide
use, however. I'm fine with leaving it in the wheels but we shouldn't
statically link when we have the shared lib available in any case
> [C++] Do not always statically link Brotli libraries

> Key: ARROW-9188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9188
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> I discovered by symbol sleuthing that even if the Brotli shared libraries are
> available on the system, the static libraries will be used for linking.
> Here's a dump of the symbols on my machine
> https://gist.github.com/wesm/b7e911424ce3ca3a175b652666fe6f89
> The largest of these symbols {{kBrotliDictionaryData}} is 120KB
> Since we statically link everything in our Python wheels, we might consider
> disabling Brotli in manylinux builds at least since it adds 800KB to
> libarrow.so
