>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: R
>    Affects Versions: 0.17.1
>            Reporter: David Cortes
>            Priority: Major

> If I create a snappy-compressed parquet file from a DataFrame in spark or pandas, and then import this same file into R using:
> {code:java}
> arrow::read_parquet(the_file, as_data_frame=TRUE)
> {code}
> or
> {code:java}
> arrow::read_parquet(the_file, as_data_frame=FALSE){code}
> Then the columns that were numeric/float before will load as strings.
> Loading the same file in Python through
> {code:java}
> pd.read_parquet(the_file)
> {code}
> Will correctly interpret numeric columns as numeric.
>  
> Integer columns seem to be read as integers however.
