----------------------------------
Summary: [R] support read gzip csv files
Key: ARROW-8942
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8942
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Dyfan Jones
Hi all,
Apologises if this has already been covered by another ticket. Is it possible
for arrow to read in compress delimited files (for example gzip)?
Currently I get an error when trying to read in a compressed delimited file:
```
vroom::vroom_write(iris, "iris.csv.gz", delim = ",")
arrow::read_csv_arrow("iris.csv.gz")
# Error in csv___TableReader__Read(self) :
# Invalid: CSV parse error: Expected 1 columns, got 4
# however it can be read in by vroom and readr:
vroom::vroom("iris.csv.gz")
readr::read_csv("iris.csv.gz")
```
