[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-8056) [R] Support read and write orc file format

["Neal Richardson (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8056?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17056030#comment-17056030 ] 

Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-8056:
----------------------------------------

Codewise, it probably wouldn't be too bad to add R bindings to {{cpp/src/arrow/adapters/orc}}, and it would probably look a lot like the parquet bindings. One bit of complexity is that you'd need to make it conditionally available based on whether Arrow C++ was built with ORC support enabled. AFAICT ORC is not available on Windows. 

The bigger challenge (or at least effort required) would probably be the C++ dependency building, if we wanted this to be a feature generally available to all (non-Windows) users.

> Currently the R package can read/write arrow, feather, parquet etc ... How feasible is it for orc file format to be support with read / write capabilities?
