> Same issue as reported for feather::read_feather (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7823);
>  
> For the R arrow package, the "read_parquet()" function currently does not respect "options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)", leading to unexpected/inconsistent behavior.
>  
> *Example:*
>  
>  
> {code:java}
> library(arrow)
> library(readr)
> options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
> write_tsv(head(iris), 'test.tsv')
> write_parquet(head(iris), 'test.parquet')
> head(read.delim('test.tsv', sep='\t')$Species)
> # [1] "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa"
> head(read_tsv('test.tsv', col_types = cols())$Species)
> # [1] "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa" "setosa"
> head(read_parquet('test.parquet')$Species)
> # [1] setosa setosa setosa setosa setosa setosa
> # Levels: setosa versicolor virginica
> {code}
>  
>  
> *Versions:*
> - R 3.6.2
> - arrow_0.15.1.9000
