> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13234
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Nic Crane
> Priority: Major
>
> I'm trying to implement R bindings for the compute function "utf8_center" but
> in cases where there are an odd number of spaces in total, the extra space is
> added to the left. However, in R, the extra space is added to the right.
> Please can we have another string pad option to determine which side the
> extra space goes, so I can make the functionality match?
