Description

parquet.thrift contains the following:

/**
 * Supported compression algorithms.
 *
 * Codecs added in 2.3.2 can be read by readers based on 2.3.2 and later.
 * Codec support may vary between readers based on the format version and
 * libraries available at runtime. Gzip, Snappy, and LZ4 codecs are
 * widely available, while Zstd and Brotli require additional libraries.
 */
enum CompressionCodec {
  UNCOMPRESSED = 0;
  SNAPPY = 1;
  GZIP = 2;
  LZO = 3;
  BROTLI = 4; // Added in 2.3.2
  LZ4 = 5; // Added in 2.3.2
  ZSTD = 6; // Added in 2.3.2
}

In reality, there was no 2.3.2 release. These compression codecs were added in version 2.4.
