Neal Richardson reassigned ARROW-6337: -------------------------------------- Assignee: James Lamb > [R] as_tibble in R API is a misnomer > ------------------------------------ > > Key: ARROW-6337 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6337 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: R > Reporter: James Lamb > Assignee: James Lamb > Priority: Minor > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Time Spent: 1h 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > As of ARROW-5190, the R package's dependency on *tibble* has been moved from > *Imports* to *Suggests*. However, this signature of *read_parquet(), > read_delim_arrow(), read_json_arrow(),* and *read_feather()* all still have > an argument called "as_tibble". > Per [this > comment|[https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/4454#issuecomment-500563214],] > the argument "as_tibble" is a misnomer. If that argument is given a TRUE, > those functions will return a data.frame, not a tibble. I agree with Neal's > comment...I think that instead of changing return type based on a boolean, it > would be better for all the *read_** functions to return a data.frame and for > other types of operations to get their own functions. > I think it's important to consider this type of user-facing breaking change > _now_ while the R package's version is still 0.x. > As always, thanks for hearing me out! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
