I was very perplexed to find that Power Query/Power BI doesn't seem to have any connector or ability to access Apache Arrow data? Is there something that I am missing? Given how fast it is growing as an analytics and large data tool I was surprised there is no integration.
The Arrow package in R is not recognized as a package that PBI uses/has. When will the Apache Arrow package for R come to Power BI?
I would love to write my data out to disk using parquet?
Looks like there are R/Python packages for Apache Arrow, which do integrate with Power Query, so you could use that to pull your data.
