Summary: [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 Following up from [this mailing list conversation|https://lists.apache.org/list?d...@arrow.apache.org:lte=1M:feather], 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. It might also be helpful to update the documentation so that users read "Write an Arrow file (formerly known as a Feather file)" rather than the current Feather-named first approach, assuming there is a community decision to coalesce around the name Arrow for the file format, and the project is moving on from the name Feather. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
