We want to interact with Feather files in our R package and are using
arrow::FeatherReader$create(), which requires as input an Arrow file
connection object. We thought we would follow the lead in read_feather()
and use make_readable_file() like
f <- function(file) {
file <- make_readable_file(file)
on.exit(file$close())
reader <- FeatherReader$create(file)
# do stuff ...
}
but make_readable_file is not exported by arrow, so I'm not sure this
approach will satisfy CRAN requirements.
Can you export make_readable_file? Or is there some other recommended way
to go from a .feather file to the required inputstream for
FeatherReader$create?
Thank you for the excellent package,
Ben
