------------------------------------

             Summary: export make_readable_file
                 Key: ARROW-10632
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10632
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Ben Zipperer


In the R package would you export make_readable_file() ? 

We want to interact with Feather files in our R package and are using arrow::FeatherReader$create(), which requires as input an Arrow file connection object. We thought we would follow the lead in read_feather() and use make_readable_file() like
{code:java}
f <- function(file) {
  file <- make_readable_file(file)
  on.exit(file$close())
  reader <- FeatherReader$create(file)
  # do stuff ...
}
{code}
but make_readable_file is not exported by arrow, so this approach might not satisfy CRAN requirements.

Can you export make_readable_file? Or is some other preferred way to go from a .feather file to the required inputstream for FeatherReader$create?
