lz4 dependency is causing install issues for our users #245

Description

@archiewood

A recent version of this connector, 1.8.0 introduced lz4 compression #216

We recently upgraded from <1.8.0 to 1.8.3 and we have since then had several reports from users about being unable to install our library.

Here is an example, but i'd say we've had c.10-20 reports of this in the last 3 weeks: evidence-dev/evidence#1885

The crux of the issue seems to be that lz4 is building from source, and this requires a number of pieces of software to be installed on a client's machine that they do not always have, and didn't previously need: make, visual studio build tools etc.

For the moment, I'm intending on resolving this by downgrading our Databricks dependency to 1.7.x but I thought it might be useful for your team to know.
