------------------------------------
Summary: export make_readable_file
Key: ARROW-10632
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10632
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Ben Zipperer
In the R package would you export make_readable_file() ?
We want to interact with Feather files in our R package and are using
arrow::FeatherReader$create(), which requires as input an Arrow file connection
object. We thought we would follow the lead in read_feather() and use
make_readable_file() like
{code:java}
f <- function(file) {
file <- make_readable_file(file)
on.exit(file$close())
reader <- FeatherReader$create(file)
# do stuff ...
}
{code}
but make_readable_file is not exported by arrow, so this approach might not
satisfy CRAN requirements.
Can you export make_readable_file? Or is some other preferred way to go from a
.feather file to the required inputstream for FeatherReader$create?
