-----------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Rename read_ipc_file to read_arrow_file & highlight
arrow over feather
Key: ARROW-18148
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18148
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, R
Reporter: Stephanie Hazlitt
Following up from [this mailing list
conversation|https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]:lte=1M:feather],
I am wondering if the R package should rename `read_ipc_file()` /
write_ipc_file()` to `read_arrow_file()`/ `write_arrow_file()`, or add an
additional alias for both. It might also be helpful to update the documentation
so that users read "Write an Arrow file (formerly known as a Feather file)"
rather than the current Feather-named first approach, assuming there is a
community decision to coalesce around the name Arrow for the file format, and
the project is moving on from the name Feather.
