--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Add read/write_ipc_file separate from _feather
Key: ARROW-8324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8324
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
See [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/6771#issuecomment-608133760]
{quote}Let's add read/write_ipc_file also? I'm wary of the "version" option in
"write_feather" and the Feather version inference capability in "read_feather".
It's potentially confusing and we may choose to add options to
write_ipc_file/read_ipc_file that are more developer centric, having to do with
particulars in the IPC format, that are not relevant or appropriate for the
Feather APIs.
IMHO it's best for "Feather format" to remain an abstracted higher-level
concept with its use of the "IPC file format" as an implementation detail, and
segregated from the other things.
