Great, I'll be on the call. The first steps I took today with the automatically generated bindings from the C++ source seem promising. Much more work is required to make it usable though. On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 9:00 PM, Kevin Moore wrote: > A group of Quilt users and team members interested in

A group of Quilt users and team members interested in R is planning a short call to get the ball rolling on R bindings for Arrow (and Quilt) tomorrow at 4PM Pacific. We'd love to have anyone who's interested from this list join us in the hangout: https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/quiltdata.io/

Thanks Clark. I know that SparkR would benefit a lot from Arrow bindings and many people would like to see that, but to my knowledge no one has started working on this yet. Please keep us updated with what you find! Bryan On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 9:15 AM, Clark Fitzgerald wrote: > Regarding th

Regarding the R Consortium, the Distributed Computing Working Group led by Michael Lawrence would be interested in this. It would be nice to go to them with some working examples and use cases. Next week I will start looking into R / Arrow bindings. A couple other people at the UC Davis Data Scien

Especially with Arrow support landing in Spark (SPARK-13534), it would be helpful to combine efforts between Python and R on this front. I also have a long list of improvements to the Feather format that will be substantially simpler once library(feather) is depending on the main Arrow libraries.

I also sent a note about it to the dev list a month ago. Still have a huge internal need and interested in helping push this along where we can. Unfortunately, our team is more focused around Spark and doesn't have much experience working with the R community. On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 1:44 PM Clark
