Description

Updating values via square brackets isn't currently implemented.  Is this actually possible?

library(arrow)
my_arr <- Array$create(1:5)
my_arr[1] <- 3
# Error in my_arr[1] <- 3 : object of type 'environment' is not subsettable

aq_table <- Table$create(airquality)
aq_table[[1]][1] <- 6
#  object of type 'environment' is not subsettable
