read_ipc_stream

Read Arrow IPC stream format

Description

Apache Arrow defines two formats for serializing data for interprocess communication (IPC): a "stream" format and a "file" format, known as Feather. read_ipc_stream() and read_feather() read those formats, respectively.

Usage

read_arrow(file, ...)

read_ipc_stream(file, as_data_frame = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

file

A character file name or URI, raw vector, an Arrow input stream, or a FileSystem with path (SubTreeFileSystem). If a file name or URI, an Arrow InputStream will be opened and closed when finished. If an input stream is provided, it will be left open.
...

extra parameters passed to read_feather().
as_data_frame

Should the function return a data.frame (default) or an Arrow Table?

Details

read_arrow(), a wrapper around read_ipc_stream() and read_feather(), is deprecated. You should explicitly choose the function that will read the desired IPC format (stream or file) since a file or InputStream may contain either.

Value

A data.frame if as_data_frame is TRUE (the default), or an Arrow Table otherwise

See Also

read_feather() for writing IPC files. RecordBatchReader for a lower-level interface.
