Nicola Crane updated ARROW-14067:
---------------------------------
Summary: [R] Add error handling to C++ compute functions listed via
list_compute_functions() which don't have bindings in R or options not supplied
by user (was: [R] Add error handling to C++ compute functions listed via
list_compute_functions() which don't have bindings in R)

> Key: ARROW-14067
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14067
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Nicola Crane
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently we have the function {{list_compute_functions()}} which lists all
> available Arrow compute functions. However, it can return functions which
> have been implemented in C++ but don't yet have bindings in R.
> A recent ticket implemented (nearly) all of the remaining compute functions
> without bound options at that moment, but more could appear.
> Currently the error message shown is:
> {code:java}
> library(dplyr)
> library(arrow) # 5.0.0.2
> Table$create(tibble::tibble(Species = c("versicolor", "virginica",
> "setosa"))) %>%
> mutate(x = arrow_utf8_trim(Species, options = list(characters = "a")))
> ## Error: Invalid: Attempted to initialize KernelState from null
> FunctionOptions
> {code}
> We should catch this and instead raise a more user-friendly error.
> Also, if a valid function is called without options supplied, we get a
> {{could not find function}} error:
> {code:java}
> library(dplyr)
> library(arrow) # dev
> Table$create(tibble::tibble(Species = c("versicolor", "virginica",
> "setosa"))) %>%
> mutate(x = arrow_utf8_trim(Species))
> ## Error in arrow_utf8_trim(Species) : could not find function
> "arrow_utf8_trim"
> {code}
> It'd be great to instead inform the user that the correct options haven't
> been supplied.
