Stephanie Hazlitt commented on ARROW-18148: ------------------------------------------- The other {{{}arrow::read_*(){}}}functions don't use the {{_file}} in the name, just {{{}read_ipc_file(){}}}, which I am guessing is because we also have {{{}read_ipc_stream(){}}}. I wonder if {{read_arrow}} and {{read_arrow_stream}} would work and be more consistent with the naming API? > [R] Rename read_ipc_file to read_arrow_file & highlight arrow over feather > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-18148 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18148 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation, R > Reporter: Stephanie Hazlitt > Priority: Minor > Labels: feather > > Following up from [this mailing list > conversation|https://lists.apache.org/thread/nxncph842h8tyovxp04hrzq4y35lq4xq], > I am wondering if the R package should rename `read_ipc_file()` / > write_ipc_file()` to `read_arrow_file()`/ `write_arrow_file()`, or add an > additional alias for both.
