> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: R
>
> 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.
