Neal Richardson created ARROW-5501:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] read/write_feather/arrow?
Key: ARROW-5501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5501
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 0.14.0
read_feather and write_feather exist, and there is also write_arrow. But no
read_arrow.
Some questions (which go beyond just R): There's talk of a "feather 2.0", i.e.
"just" serializing the IPC format (which IIUC is what write_arrow does). Are we
going to continue to call the file format "Feather", and possibly continue
supporting the "feather 1.0" format as a subset/special case? Or will "feather"
mean this limited format and "arrow" be the name of the full-featured file?
In terms of this issue, should write_arrow be folded into write_feather and
there be an argument for indicating which version to write? Or should the
distinction be maintained, and we need to add a read_arrow() function?
