Older Databricks Runtimes (v7.x, including 7.1 LTS):

The official Databricks Runtime support lifecycle documentation specifies supported and end-of-life runtimes.

zstd Parquet support is not available for Databricks Runtime 7.1 LTS and other 7.x versions; these versions only support codecs like snappy, gzip, and lzo. Enabling zstd for Parquet in DBR 7.1 LTS will result in compatibility issues—jobs may fail to read/write such compressed files due to absent support
