fromDataFrame() fails to ingest dense array when setting dim index #898

Description

Now that #877 is fixed by #896 , the following issue is much easier to deal with:

NOTE: dev r-tiledb 0.34.0.1

CASE 1: schema creation, seta column index and ingests

library(tiledb)
uri <- tempfile()
df1 <- data.frame(index = 1:2,
                  a = c(100, 120),
                  b = c(80, 120))

# FAIL
tiledb::fromDataFrame(df1,
                      uri,
                      col_index = 1,
                      sparse = FALSE,
                      mode = "ingest")
#> Error:
#> ! [TileDB::Query] Error: Unordered writes are only possible for sparse arrays

CASE 2: schema creation, no column index and ingest

# OK
uri <- tempfile()
tiledb::fromDataFrame(df1,
                      uri,
                      col_index = NULL, # an index column is added when the array is created
                      sparse = FALSE,
                      mode = "ingest")

arr <- tiledb_array(uri, return_as = "data.frame")

arr[]
#>   __tiledb_rows index   a   b
#> 1             1     1 100  80
#> 2             2     2 120 120

CASE 3: "schema_only" then ingest via [ method

# OK
uri <- tempfile()
tiledb::fromDataFrame(df1,
                      uri,
                      col_index = 1,
                      sparse = FALSE,
                      mode = "schema_only")

arr <- tiledb_array(uri, return_as = "data.frame")
arr[1:2, ] <- df1[, -1]

arr[]
#>   index   a   b
#> 1     1 100  80
#> 2     2 120 120
