> [R] Friendly interface for filesystems (S3)
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-9870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9870
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: R
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Assignee: Neal Richardson
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The Filesystem methods don't provide a human-friendly interface for basic
> operations like ls, mkdir, etc. Since we provide access to S3 and potentially
> other cloud storage, it would be nice to have simple methods for exploring it.
> Additional ideas:
> * S3Bucket class/constructor: it's basically a SubTreeFileSystem containing
> S3FS and a path, except that we can auto-detect a bucket's region.
> * Add a class like the FileLocator C++ struct list(fs, path). _also_ kinda
> like a SubTreeFileSystem, but with different methods and intents. Aside from
> use in ls/mkdir/cp, it could be used in file reader/writers instead of having
> an extra {{filesystem}} argument added everywhere, e.g.
> {{fs$path("path/to/file")}}. See
