Romain François reassigned ARROW-6365: -------------------------------------- Assignee: Romain François > [R] Should be able to coerce numeric to integer with schema > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-6365 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6365 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Reporter: Neal Richardson > Assignee: Romain François > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > > R is flexible when it comes to integer vs. floating point, generally > obscuring the details inside a "numeric" class, but it knows how to make it > seem like my integer-looking data stored in a double is actually integer. > This means that an R user can think they have integers even when the > underlying storage is not. > So I would have expected this to work, and indeed to be one reason I'd want > to specify a schema when creating a table: > {code:r} > > table(a = 1, schema = schema(a = int32())) > Error in Table__from_dots(dots, schema) : > Invalid: Cannot convert R vector of type REALSXP to integer Arrow array > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
