hi folks, In light of Romain's progress on setting up an R Arrow library (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/2489), I started putting together a Google document to sketch out a general scaffold for R interfaces to the Arrow ecosystem and some of the initial deliverables that would be of high value to the community (like plugging into Spark+Arrow):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/16QpgNH0_uYkVZsaVK1VyQcuSYS5vRl_d0XCSvEyh6o8/edit#heading=h.uvtfq03inyw5 It's essentially patterned after the analogous functionality we've developed in Python. If anyone would like edit access let me know and I'll add you This should eventually be transferred to the dev wiki (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW) but started this as a Google doc to make collaboration a little lighter weight as we get started. After some comments collect, I suggest we move the roadmap to Confluence and create as many JIRA issues as possible to capture the granular work needed to develop each feature listed. I think it's OK to create 50-100 R-related issues as a means of helping organize the development roadmap. Looking forward to getting this work off the ground! thanks, Wes
