Zach Christensen commented on ARROW-2969:
-----------------------------------------

Upon implementation would this be essentially the same as an array/tensor or 
more like a nested tibble? It would be really helpful to have multidimensional 
arrow formats bound to R that can be easily passed to other languages. I'm 
specifically thinking of imaging data but I'm sure it could be generalized to a 
lot of other situations.
