Convert an object to an Arrow Array

Theas_arrow_array() function is identical toArray$create() exceptthat it is an S3 generic, which allows methods to be defined in otherpackages to convert objects toArray.Array$create() is slightly fasterbecause it tries to convert in C++ before falling back onas_arrow_array().

Usage

as_arrow_array(x,..., type=NULL)# S3 method for class 'Array'as_arrow_array(x,..., type=NULL)# S3 method for class 'Scalar'as_arrow_array(x,..., type=NULL)# S3 method for class 'ChunkedArray'as_arrow_array(x,..., type=NULL)

Arguments
