> First at all, many thanks for your hard work! I was quite exited, when you 
> guys implemented some basic function of the the {{dplyr}} package. Is there a 
> why to combine tow or more arrow tables into one by rows or columns? At the 
> moment my workaround looks like this:
> {code:r}
> dplyr::bind_rows(
>    "a" = arrow.table.1 %>% dplyr::collect(),
>    "b" = arrow.table.2 %>% dplyr::collect(),
>    "c" = arrow.table.3 %>% dplyr::collect(),
>    "d" = arrow.table.4 %>% dplyr::collect(),
>    .id = "ID"
>  ) %>% 
>  arrow::write_ipc_stream(sink = "file_name_combined_tables.arrow")
> {code}
> But this is actually not really a meaningful measure because of putting the 
> data back as dataframes/tibbles into the r environment, which might lead to 
> an exhaust of RAM space. Perhaps you might have a better workaround on hand. 
> It would be great if you guys could implement the {{bind_rows}} and 
> {{bind_cols}} methods provided by {{dplyr}}.
> {code:java}
> dplyr::bind_rows(
>    "a" = arrow.table.1,
>    "b" = arrow.table.2,
>    "c" = arrow.table.3,
>    "d" = arrow.table.4, 
>    .id = "ID"
> ) %>% 
>  arrow::write_ipc_stream(sink = "file_name_combined_tables.arrow"){code}
