--------------------------------------
Summary: Implement feather::feather_metadata(path) in R arrow
Key: ARROW-11922
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11922
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Components: R
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Matteo Sostero
The old R `feather` package had a function called `feather::feather_metadata()`
that allowed to read column names and types from feather files on disk, without
opening them. This was useful to select only specific columns when loading a
feather file in R with `read_feather(path, columns = c(...)`
Apparently [there is no direct replacement for this function in
arrow|https://stackoverflow.com/a/66540589/926810]. Can one be implemented?
