Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-11766:
-----------------------------------------
This particular error about compression codecs is in practice probably only
going to come from {{read_feather}} and {{read_parquet}}, so we can wrap the
line that would throw that message in a {{tryCatch}} and if {{grepl("Support
for codec", conditionMessage(e))}} raise an error with a more helpful message.

> Could this be the source of [errors

> {{Error: NotImplemented: Support for codec 'lz4' not built}} after
> installing from CRAN?
> A few more details:
> The default behavior (when neither {{LIBARROW_BINARY=true}} nor
> {{NOT_CRAN=true}}) is to build the arrow c++ libraries from source. And the
> default for building from source does not include all of the optional
> features and compression libraries (unless one sets
> {{LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false}}).
> Could we improve the error messaging that suggest either setting the right
> environment variable to install binaries (and then reinstall) or setting
> {{LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false}} (and then reinstall), possibly with a link to
> https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html to help people see
> other possible ways to resolve the installation issue.
