I guess you can refer to the docs at https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/build_system.html and https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/parquet.html.
When I first use Arrow, I do also feel the C++ doc is not as comprehensive as the Python one. You can also use pyarrow since it is just a wrapper on the C++ implementation. It is much simpler and the performance is almost the same.
