>                 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
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: R
>
> 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.
