Review comment:
       I imagine this is already taken care of in the C++ somehow but I would 
expected something like:
   
   ``` r
   on.exit(writer$Close())
   writer$WriteTable(x, chunk_size = chunk_size)
   ```
   
   ...to clean up the writer as soon as possible in case `WriteTable` errors.

Review comment:
       In the comment below you say 2.5 million...this would be `2.5e6` instead 
of `2.5e8`?
