Description

Hi,

When trying to use 'LZO' codec in `pyarrow.parquet.write_table()` with below code, I get an error message indicating that 'LZO' is not available. However, this codec is mentioned as available in the doc [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.parquet.write_table.html].

 

Code

from pyarrow import parquet as pq

pq.write_table(data, file, compression='LZO')

 

Error message

 File "pyarrow/_parquet.pyx", line 1374, in pyarrow._parquet.ParquetWriter.write_table

File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 99, in pyarrow.lib.check_status

OSError: Codec type LZO not supported in Parquet format

 

I would suggest correcting the documentation, or making this codec available?

Thanks for your support.

Bests,
