             Summary: [R] support read gzip csv files
                 Key: ARROW-8942
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8942
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Dyfan Jones


Hi all,

Apologises if this has already been covered by another ticket. Is it possible for arrow to read in compress delimited files (for example gzip)?

Currently I get an error when trying to read in a compressed delimited file:

```
vroom::vroom_write(iris, "iris.csv.gz", delim = ",")

arrow::read_csv_arrow("iris.csv.gz")
# Error in csv___TableReader__Read(self) : 
 # Invalid: CSV parse error: Expected 1 columns, got 4

# however it can be read in by vroom and readr:

vroom::vroom("iris.csv.gz")

readr::read_csv("iris.csv.gz")
```
