[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-2969) [R] Convert between StructArray and "nested" data.frame column containing data frame in each cell

["Zach Christensen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2969?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16570223#comment-16570223 ] 

Zach Christensen commented on ARROW-2969:
-----------------------------------------

Upon implementation would this be essentially the same as an array/tensor or more like a nested tibble? It would be really helpful to have multidimensional arrow formats bound to R that can be easily passed to other languages. I'm specifically thinking of imaging data but I'm sure it could be generalized to a lot of other situations.
