#' Write Parquet file to disk
#'
#' [Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/) is a columnar storage file format.
#' This function enables you to write Parquet files from R.
#'
#' Due to features of the format, Parquet files cannot be appended to.
#' If you want to use the Parquet format but also want the ability to extend
#' your dataset, you can write to additional Parquet files and then treat
#' the whole directory of files as a [Dataset] you can query.
#' See the \href{https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/dataset.html}{dataset
#' article} for examples of this.
#'
#' @param x `data.frame`, [RecordBatch], or [Table]
#' @param sink A string file path, URI, or [OutputStream], or path in a file
#' system (`SubTreeFileSystem`)
#' @param chunk_size how many rows of data to write to disk at once. This
#' directly corresponds to how many rows will be in each row group in
#' parquet. If `NULL`, a best guess will be made for optimal size (based on
#' the number of columns and number of rows), though if the data has fewer
#' than 250 million cells (rows x cols), then the total number of rows is
#' used.
#' @param version parquet version: "1.0", "2.0" (deprecated), "2.4" (default),
#' "2.6", or "latest" (currently equivalent to 2.6). Numeric values are
#' coerced to character.
#' @param compression compression algorithm. Default "snappy". See details.
#' @param compression_level compression level. Meaning depends on compression
#' algorithm
#' @param use_dictionary logical: use dictionary encoding? Default `TRUE`
#' @param write_statistics logical: include statistics? Default `TRUE`
#' @param data_page_size Set a target threshold for the approximate encoded
#' size of data pages within a column chunk (in bytes). Default 1 MiB.
#' @param use_deprecated_int96_timestamps logical: write timestamps to INT96
#' Parquet format, which has been deprecated? Default `FALSE`.
#' @param coerce_timestamps Cast timestamps a particular resolution. Can be
#' `NULL`, "ms" or "us". Default `NULL` (no casting)
#' @param allow_truncated_timestamps logical: Allow loss of data when coercing
#' timestamps to a particular resolution. E.g. if microsecond or nanosecond
#' data is lost when coercing to "ms", do not raise an exception. Default
#' `FALSE`.
#'
#' @details The parameters `compression`, `compression_level`, `use_dictionary` and
#' `write_statistics` support various patterns:
#'
#' - The default `NULL` leaves the parameter unspecified, and the C++ library
#' uses an appropriate default for each column (defaults listed above)
#' - A single, unnamed, value (e.g. a single string for `compression`) applies to all columns
#' - An unnamed vector, of the same size as the number of columns, to specify a
#' value for each column, in positional order
#' - A named vector, to specify the value for the named columns, the default
#' value for the setting is used when not supplied
#'
#' The `compression` argument can be any of the following (case insensitive):
#' "uncompressed", "snappy", "gzip", "brotli", "zstd", "lz4", "lzo" or "bz2".
#' Only "uncompressed" is guaranteed to be available, but "snappy" and "gzip"
#' are almost always included. See [codec_is_available()].
#' The default "snappy" is used if available, otherwise "uncompressed". To
#' disable compression, set `compression = "uncompressed"`.
#' Note that "uncompressed" columns may still have dictionary encoding.
#'
#' @return the input `x` invisibly.
#' @seealso [ParquetFileWriter] for a lower-level interface to Parquet writing.

#'
#' @section Factory:
#'
#' The `ParquetWriterProperties$create()` factory method instantiates the object
#' and takes the following arguments:
#'
#' - `table`: table to write (required)
#' - `version`: Parquet version, "1.0" or "2.0". Default "1.0"
#' - `compression`: Compression type, algorithm `"uncompressed"`
#' - `compression_level`: Compression level; meaning depends on compression algorithm
#' - `use_dictionary`: Specify if we should use dictionary encoding. Default `TRUE`
#' - `write_statistics`: Specify if we should write statistics. Default `TRUE`
#' - `data_page_size`: Set a target threshold for the approximate encoded
#' size of data pages within a column chunk (in bytes). Default 1 MiB.
#'
#' @details The parameters `compression`, `compression_level`, `use_dictionary`
#' and write_statistics` support various patterns:
#'
#' - The default `NULL` leaves the parameter unspecified, and the C++ library
#' uses an appropriate default for each column (defaults listed above)
#' - A single, unnamed, value (e.g. a single string for `compression`) applies to all columns
#' - An unnamed vector, of the same size as the number of columns, to specify a
#' value for each column, in positional order
#' - A named vector, to specify the value for the named columns, the default
#' value for the setting is used when not supplied
#'
#' Unlike the high-level [write_parquet], `ParquetWriterProperties` arguments
#' use the C++ defaults. Currently this means "uncompressed" rather than
#' "snappy" for the `compression` argument.
#'
#' @seealso [write_parquet]
#' @seealso [Schema] for information about schemas and metadata handling.

#' - `schema` A [Schema]

#'
#' - `WriteTable` Write a [Table] to `sink`
#' - `Close` Close the writer. Note: does not close the `sink`.
#' [arrow::io::OutputStream][OutputStream] has its own `close()` method.

#' (e.g. `RandomAccessFile`).

#' The optional `column_indices=` argument is a 0-based integer vector indicating which columns to retain.
#' - `$ReadRowGroups(row_groups, column_indices)`: get an `arrow::Table` by reading several row
#' groups (0-based integers).
#' The optional `column_indices=` argument is a 0-based integer vector indicating which columns to retain.
#' - `$GetSchema()`: get the `arrow::Schema` of the data in the file
#' - `$ReadColumn(i)`: read the `i`th column (0-based) as a [ChunkedArray].

#' @section Active bindings:
