Clark Fitzgerald updated ARROW-1325:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
The R language was designed to perform "Columnar in memory analytics". R / 
Arrow bindings would be useful for:

* better compatibility between R and other languages / big data systems
* chunk-based data parallelism
* portable and efficient IO via Parquet

R has a C++ interface so the natural way to write these bindings is to leverage 
Arrow's C++ library as much as possible.
Feather provides a starting point: 
[https://github.com/wesm/feather/tree/master/R].

This can serve as an umbrella JIRA for work on R related tasks.
