Sorry Joris for the late reply! > is that this class instance is only created after the underlying C++ extension type, for which you already need the serialized metadata? That's a really good question...it's might possible to do this the other way around, which would make it a little more intuitive. Creating the R6 instance from C++ (usually via automatically generated wrapper code) is the default...the default constructor errors if there isn't a valid one: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/1b796ec3f9caeb5e86e3348ba940bef8d95915c5/r/R/arrow-package.R#L310-L322 The alternative would be to materialize the C++ object when it is required. I will play with that because I really don't like the dot prefix thing that I'm currently doing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
