             Summary: Parquet Snappy Compression Fails for Integer Type Data
                 Key: ARROW-17008
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17008
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: R
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0
         Environment: R4.2.1 Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64
R4.1.2 Ubuntu 22.04 Aarch64
            Reporter: Charlie Gao


Snappy compression is not working when writing to parquet for integer type data.

E.g. compare file sizes for:

{code:r}
write_parquet(data.frame(x = 1:1e6), "snappy.parquet", compression = "snappy")
write_parquet(data.frame(x = 1:1e6), "uncomp.parquet", compression = 
"uncompressed")
{code}
whereas for double:
{code:r}
write_parquet(data.frame(x = as.double(1:1e6)), "snappyd.parquet", compression 
= "snappy")
write_parquet(data.frame(x = as.double(1:1e6)), "uncompd.parquet", compression 
= "uncompressed")
{code}
I have inspected the integer files using parquet-tools and compression level 
shows as 0%. Needless to say, I can achieve compression using Spark (sparklyr) 
etc.

Thanks.
