Arguments

dataset

a Dataset object created by arrow::open_dataset or an arrow_dplyr_query

find_geom

Details

This function is primarily for use after opening a dataset with arrow::open_dataset. Users can then query the arrow Dataset using dplyr methods such as filter or select. Passing the resulting query to this function will parse the datasets and create an sf object. The function expects consistent geographic metadata to be stored with the dataset in order to create sf objects. Adopted from wcjochem/sfarrow
