--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Zero-copy Arrow to R where possible
                 Key: ARROW-9140
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9140
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson

 the data.
