I understand that in principle this is possible using `open_datatset()` in text mode and then streaming data out to parquet via `write_dataset()`, but this strategy fails even on small text files with an unexpected error: Here's a minimal reproducible example. fs::dir_create("import_dir") readr::write_tsv(mtcars, "import_dir/mtcars.tsv") ds <- arrow::open_dataset("import_dir", format="text", delim="\t") arrow::write_dataset(ds, "parquet_dir") The error I get occurs only on the last line (`write_dataset()`), saying: Error in options$update(...) : attempt to apply non-function -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
