[jira] [Created] (ARROW-13421) Add choice for decimal marker in read_delim_arrow

Daniel Paierl created ARROW-13421:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add choice for decimal marker in read_delim_arrow
                 Key: ARROW-13421
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13421
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: Daniel Paierl


In the R arrow package read_delim_arrow lacks the option to specify the decimal marker (e.g. comma or point) in the parsing options.

This is a major inconvenience for data with a _point_ as a decimal marker (european users) since the data is read in as astring which requires post-hoc conversion of the string to double. 

 

Request: Add a parsing option to set the decimal marker if that is possible.
