Can the R interface to write_parquet accept strings?

[Daniel Feenberg]

Can the R interface to Arrow Parquet write string data? Take the
following script:

   library(arrow)
   library(tidyverse)
   write_parquet(table = tibble(y = c("a", "b", "c")), file = "string.parquet")

I get the error message:

   Error in write_parquet_file(to_arrow(table), file) :
   Arrow error: IOError: Metadata contains Thrift LogicalType that is
   not recognized.

after warnings that stats::filter(), stats::lag() and
arrow::read_table() are masked, but I assume that isn't the problem.
This is with R 3.5.1 and arrow_0.14.1.1
