- Keep the original R data source and slice only requested rows instead of preparing complete columns when the viewer opens. - Avoid full Arrow conversion, support Polars DataFrames, preserve R value types, and reuse sorting and filtering results when the viewer requests more rows.
…ta types - use dateString and dateTimeString for R Date and POSIX values - use bigint for R integer64 values - make bit64 an optional package dependency

Just made a few more small enhancements.
scrollbar.movI would suggest to remove the pagination setting. The lazying data loading sets the batch number at 500. Opening and scrolling are fast. However, one may set page size to, e.g. 10,000, this actually slows things down as |

Summary
This PR attempts to introduce a true on demand data loading from R.
The RC already introduced a dynamic data viewer, but R still prepared data for all columns when the viewer opened. This included creating the full row index, splitting matrix columns, and converting an entire Arrow object data to data frame. Values were also formatted as text.
What changes

(filtered/original)in the row-number heading when filtering is active.If this is accepted, and works well, probably could remove those 2 pagination settings as well. Here is an example to open 10M records with 100 columns.
