> The old R `feather` package had a function called `feather::feather_metadata()` that allowed to read column names and types from feather files on disk, without opening them. This was useful to select only specific columns when loading a feather file in R with `read_feather(path, columns = c(...)`
> Apparently [there is no direct replacement for this function in arrow|https://stackoverflow.com/a/66540589/926810]. Can one be implemented?
