Thanks Wes,
I will look these over!

hi Nick,
I would strongly encourage you to focus your energies on supporting
the general Arrow streaming and file formats as described in
http://arrow.apache.org/docs/ipc.html. It's fine to support Feather,
so long as you restrict yourself to the API defined in
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/ipc/feather.h
As soon as we have reasonable R bindings for the Arrow C++ libraries,
I would like to replace the internal details of the Feather format
with the Arrow IPC format, deprecating the metadata defined in
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/ipc/feather.fbs
Please let us know how things go and if there's anything we can do to help.
Thanks,
Wes
