SHIMA Tatsuya created ARROW-17072: ------------------------------------- Summary: [R] Rename *_feather functions Key: ARROW-17072 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17072 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: R Affects Versions: 8.0.0 Reporter: SHIMA Tatsuya
As noted in the following document, the recommended extension for IPC files is now `.arrow`. > We recommend the “.arrow” extension for files created with this format. https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format However, the R library cannot read IPC files without using the `read_feather` function after ARROW-16268. I think users will be confused if you keep using this function name because the word `feather' is not associated with `.arrow` for beginners. For example, could we deprecate function `read_feather` and recommend another function like `read_ipc_file`, which has the same functionality?
