| \usage{ |
| write_feather( |
| x, |
| sink, |
| version = 2, |
| chunk_size = 65536L, |
| compression = c("default", "lz4", "uncompressed", "zstd"), |
| compression_level = NULL |
| ) |
| } |
| \arguments{ |
| \item{x}{\code{data.frame}, \link{RecordBatch}, or \link{Table}} |
| |
| \item{sink}{A string file path, URI, or \link{OutputStream}, or path in a file |
| system (\code{SubTreeFileSystem})} |
| |
| \item{version}{integer Feather file version. Version 2 is the current. |
| Version 1 is the more limited legacy format.} |
| |
| \item{chunk_size}{For V2 files, the number of rows that each chunk of data |
| should have in the file. Use a smaller \code{chunk_size} when you need faster |
| random row access. Default is 64K. This option is not supported for V1.} |
| |
| \item{compression}{Name of compression codec to use, if any. Default is |
| "lz4" if LZ4 is available in your build of the Arrow C++ library, otherwise |
| "uncompressed". "zstd" is the other available codec and generally has better |
| compression ratios in exchange for slower read and write performance |
| See \code{\link[=codec_is_available]{codec_is_available()}}. This option is not supported for V1.} |
| |
| \item{compression_level}{If \code{compression} is "zstd", you may |
| specify an integer compression level. If omitted, the compression codec's |
| default compression level is used.} |
| } |
| \value{ |
| The input \code{x}, invisibly. Note that if \code{sink} is an \link{OutputStream}, |
| the stream will be left open. |

| \description{ |
| Feather provides binary columnar serialization for data frames. |
| It is designed to make reading and writing data frames efficient, |
| and to make sharing data across data analysis languages easy. |
| This function writes both the original, limited specification of the format |
| and the version 2 specification, which is the Apache Arrow IPC file format. |
