[jira] [Created] (ARROW-5505) [R] Stop masking base R functions

Neal Richardson created ARROW-5505:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Stop masking base R functions
                 Key: ARROW-5505
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5505
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson
             Fix For: 0.14.0


The package startup message about masking base functions can be scary. We should avoid masking base functions without a compelling reason (i.e. let's do arrow_array() instead of array(), arrow_table()). The arrow versions do very different things than the base functions; plus, end users shouldn’t be dealing directly with Tables and Arrays, so they don’t need to figure so prominently in the public API of the package.
