[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-8810) [R] Append to parquet file?

["Wes McKinney (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8810?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17108381#comment-17108381 ] 

Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-8810:
-------------------------------------

Since it's not possible to append data to an existing file (without a great deal of effort in the C++ library) I would suggest closing this. Might be some documentation we could add to clarify that Parquet datasets are intended to constitute many files with appending by writing additional files

> Is it possible to append new rows to an existing .parquet file using the R client's arrow::write_parquet(), in a manner similar to the `append=TRUE` argument in text-based output formats like write.table()?

> Apologies as this is perhaps more a question of documentation or user interface, or maybe just my ignorance.
