Nic Crane updated ARROW-13421:
------------------------------
Labels: (was: R)
> [C++] Add functionality for reading in columns as floats from delimited
> files where a comma has been used as a decimal separator
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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
>
> 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.
> (i.e. if the source data uses commas to demark the decimal place, this
> feature request wants to be able to process such files as if a period had
> been used instead)
