------------------------------------

             Summary: "Cannot tell() a compressed stream" when using 
RecordBatchStreamWriter
                 Key: ARROW-4836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4836
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 0.12.1
            Reporter: Mike Pedersen


It does not seem like RecordBatchStreamWriter works with compressed streams:

{code:python}
>>> import pyarrow as pa
>>> pa.__version__
'0.12.1'
>>> stream = pa.output_stream('/tmp/a.gz')
>>> batch = pa.RecordBatch.from_arrays([pa.array([1])], ['a'])
>>> writer = pa.RecordBatchStreamWriter(stream, batch.schema)
>>> writer.write(batch)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pyarrow/ipc.pxi", line 181, in pyarrow.lib._RecordBatchWriter.write
  File "pyarrow/ipc.pxi", line 196, in 
pyarrow.lib._RecordBatchWriter.write_batch
  File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 89, in pyarrow.lib.check_status
pyarrow.lib.ArrowNotImplementedError: Cannot tell() a compressed stream
{code}

As I understand the documentation, this should be possible, right?
