-------------------------------------
Summary: Add choice for decimal marker in read_delim_arrow
Key: ARROW-13421
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13421
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Affects Versions: 4.0.1
Reporter: Daniel Paierl
In the R arrow package read_delim_arrow lacks the option to specify the decimal
marker (e.g. comma or point) in the parsing options.
This is a major inconvenience for data with a _point_ as a decimal marker
(european users) since the data is read in as astring which requires post-hoc
conversion of the string to double.
Request: Add a parsing option to set the decimal marker if that is possible.
