 In this chapter, you'll learn about a powerful alternative: the [parquet format](https://parquet.apache.org/), an open standards-based format widely used by big data systems.
 
 We'll pair parquet files with [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org), a multi-language toolbox designed for efficient analysis and transport of large datasets.
-We'll use Apache Arrow via the the [arrow package](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/), which provides a dplyr backend allowing you to analyze larger-than-memory datasets using familiar dplyr syntax.

 As an additional benefit, arrow is extremely fast: you'll see some examples later in the chapter.
 
 Both arrow and dbplyr provide dplyr backends, so you might wonder when to use each.
