[jira] [Created] (ARROW-7796) arrow::write_* functions should return their inputs

Sam Albers created ARROW-7796:
---------------------------------

             Summary: arrow::write_* functions should return their inputs
                 Key: ARROW-7796
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7796
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
    Affects Versions: 0.15.1
         Environment: Windows 10, R 3.6.2
            Reporter: Sam Albers


 

I am wondering if you'd consider a slight change to what is returned by the write_* functions. In \{readr} the write functions return its input which is very useful for saving intermediate objects within a pipeline. I'd be happy to take this on and submit as a pull request.
