Wes McKinney created ARROW-3498: ----------------------------------- Summary: [R] Make IPC APIs consistent Key: ARROW-3498 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3498 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Components: R Reporter: Wes McKinney Fix For: 0.12.0
There are many flavors of IPC functions: * Read a complete IPC stream (where schema is included in the first message(s)) * Read an IPC "file" * Read a schema only from a point in a buffer * Read a record batch given a known schema and the memory address of an encapsulated IPC message These are partly available in R now, but with names that aren't necessarily consistent. We should review each use case and normalize the API names -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
