Review comment:
I don't love the name. We should solicit some more feedback about what to
call the R package (simply "arrow" seems good to me)

> [R] Bootstrap R bindings subproject
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-1325
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1325
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: R
> Reporter: Clark Fitzgerald
> Assignee: Romain François
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.10.0
>
>
> 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.
