[jira] [Created] (ARROW-9140) [R] Zero-copy Arrow to R where possible

Neal Richardson created ARROW-9140:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Zero-copy Arrow to R where possible
                 Key: ARROW-9140
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9140
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson


In a few cases, such as {{int32}} and {{float64}}, where there are no nulls (or nulls allowed, if ARROW-8348/ARROW-3263 happen), we should be able to ingest data from Arrow to R with zero copy. But from my reading of the source, we always allocate memory, and even in the simple cases, we always [transform|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/efb707a5438380dcef78418668b57c3f60592a23/r/src/array_to_vector.cpp#L130] the data.
