# Which issue does this PR close? <!-- We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases. You can link an issue to this PR using the GitHub syntax. For example `Closes #123` indicates that this PR will close issue #123. --> Closes #978. # Rationale for this change <!-- Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in the issue then this section is not needed. Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes. --> Currently, the write_parquet method defaults to "uncompressed" Parquet files, which can lead to inefficient storage and slower performance during I/O operations. This change sets the default compression method to "ZSTD", a modern compression algorithm that provides an excellent balance of compression speed and ratio. Additionally, it introduces a default compression level of 3 for ZSTD, which is optimal for many use cases. # What changes are included in this PR? <!-- There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR. --> Updated the default compression parameter in the write_parquet method from "uncompressed" to "ZSTD". Introduced a default compression level of 3 for ZSTD if no level is specified. Added validation to ensure the compression level for ZSTD falls within the valid range (1 to 22) and raises a ValueError otherwise. Updated the docstring to clarify the default values and provide guidance for users on compression levels. # Are there any user-facing changes? <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. --> Yes: The default behavior of write_parquet now compresses output files using ZSTD with a default compression level of 3, instead of leaving files uncompressed. Users specifying an invalid compression level for ZSTD will now encounter a ValueError. <!-- If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api change` label. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
