[R] Support for connection class when reading and writing files #25332

Description

@asfimport

We have an internal filesystem that we interact with through objects that inherit from the connection class. These files aren't necessarily local, making it slightly more complicated to read and write parquet files, for example.

For now, we're generating raw vectors and using that to create the file. For example, to read files


ReadParquet <- function(filename, ...) {}}
file <-file(filename,"rb")
on.exit(close(file))
raw <- readBin(file, "raw", FileInfo(filename)$size)
return(arrow::read_parquet(raw, ...))
}

And to write,


WriteParquet <- function(df, filepath, ...) {
stream <- BufferOutputStream$create()
write_parquet(df, stream, ...)
raw <- stream$finish()$data()
file <- file(filepath, "wb")
on.exit(close(file)
writeBin(raw, file)
return(invisible())
}

At the C++ level, we are interacting with R_new_custom_connection defined here:
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/include/R_ext/Connections.h

I've been very impressed with how feature-rich arrow is. It would be nice to see this API supported as well.

                [R] Support for connection class when reading and writing files #25332

                Description

                @asfimport

                We have an internal filesystem that we interact with through objects that inherit from the connection class. These files aren't necessarily local, making it slightly more complicated to read and write parquet files, for example.

                For now, we're generating raw vectors and using that to create the file. For example, to read files

                
                ReadParquet <- function(filename, ...) {}}
                file <-file(filename,"rb")
                on.exit(close(file))
                raw <- readBin(file, "raw", FileInfo(filename)$size)
                return(arrow::read_parquet(raw, ...))
                }
                

                And to write,

                
                WriteParquet <- function(df, filepath, ...) {
                stream <- BufferOutputStream$create()
                write_parquet(df, stream, ...)
                raw <- stream$finish()$data()
                file <- file(filepath, "wb")
                on.exit(close(file)
                writeBin(raw, file)
                return(invisible())
                }
                

                At the C++ level, we are interacting with R_new_custom_connection defined here:
                https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/include/R_ext/Connections.h

                I've been very impressed with how feature-rich arrow is. It would be nice to see this API supported as well.
