Ian Cook created ARROW-11789:
--------------------------------
Summary: [R] Support vector of multiple file paths in read_*()
functions
Key: ARROW-11789
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11789
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Ian Cook
In an upcoming version of readr, {{read_csv()}} and friends will support
vectors of multiple file paths. Consider adding support for this to the
{{arrow::read_*()}} functions. In the {{as_data_frame = FALSE}} case, consider
whether the result should be a Table or a Dataset and whether the user should
be offered a choice of which, and if Dataset, consider whether there should be
options for partitioning.
Alternatively we might add support for vectors of multiple file paths to
{{arrow::open_dataset()}}, and note in the {{read_*()}} function docs to use
{{open_dataset()}} for this purpose.
