Description

Is it possible to append new rows to an existing .parquet file using the R client's arrow::write_parquet(), in a manner similar to the `append=TRUE` argument in text-based output formats like write.table()? 

 

Apologies as this is perhaps more a question of documentation or user interface, or maybe just my ignorance.
