Dean MacGregor commented on ARROW-16791:
----------------------------------------
I found that in arrow/r/src/filesystem.cpp, on lines 38-40 there's a comment
block which says to uncomment them for AzureBlobFileSystem when R6 classes are
made. However, when looking further, it seems that there is more in the cpp
file for s3 and GCS than just that reference but nothing else for Azure so I
guess that comment should be more of a TODO since, unless I'm missing a lot
(which is all too possible) there's much more needed for Azure to work than
just an R6 class, no?
To that end, Microsoft has [https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-cpp] for
using azure in cpp.
I don't know cpp enough (really, at all) to be able to extend MS's code into
something usable for arrow but just wanted to put the link in here in case it's
helpful.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: R

> I'd like to see the R arrow package be able to interface with the Azure Blob
