Neal Richardson updated ARROW-9782:
-----------------------------------
Labels: dataset (was: )
> [C++][Dataset] Ability to write ".feather" files with IpcFileFormat
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-9782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9782
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Python, R
> Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
> Priority: Major
> Labels: dataset
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> With the new dataset writing bindings, one can do {{ds.write_dataset(data,
> format="feather")}} (Python) or {{write_dataset(data, format = "feather")}}
> (R) to write a dataset to feather files.
> However, because "feather" is just an alias for the IpcFileFormat, it will
> currently write all files with the {{.ipc}} extension.
> I think this can be a bit confusing, since many people will be more familiar
> with "feather" and expect such an extension.
> (more generally, ".ipc" is maybe not the best default, since it's not very
> descriptive extension. Something like ".arrow" might be better?)
