Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-8810:
-------------------------------------
Since it's not possible to append data to an existing file (without a great
deal of effort in the C++ library) I would suggest closing this. Might be some
documentation we could add to clarify that Parquet datasets are intended to
constitute many files with appending by writing additional files
> [R] Append to parquet file?

> Key: ARROW-8810
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8810
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Carl Boettiger
> Priority: Major
>
> Is it possible to append new rows to an existing .parquet file using the R
> client's arrow::write_parquet(), in a manner similar to the `append=TRUE`
> argument in text-based output formats like write.table()?
>
> Apologies as this is perhaps more a question of documentation or user
> interface, or maybe just my ignorance.
