Neal Richardson created ARROW-5505: -------------------------------------- Summary: [R] Stop masking base R functions Key: ARROW-5505 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5505 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: R Reporter: Neal Richardson Fix For: 0.14.0
The package startup message about masking base functions can be scary. We should avoid masking base functions without a compelling reason (i.e. let's do arrow_array() instead of array(), arrow_table()). The arrow versions do very different things than the base functions; plus, end users shouldn’t be dealing directly with Tables and Arrays, so they don’t need to figure so prominently in the public API of the package. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
