James Lamb created ARROW-6183:
---------------------------------
Summary: [R] factor out tidyselect?
Key: ARROW-6183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6183
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: James Lamb
I noticed tonight that several functions from the *tidyselect* package are
re-exported by *arrow*. Why is this necessary? In my opinion, the *arrow* R
package should strive to have as few dependencies as possible and should have
no opinion about which parts of the R ecosystem ("tidy" or otherwise) are used
with it.
I think it would be valuable to cut the *tidyselect* re-exports, and to make
*feather::read_feather()*'s argument *col_select* take a character vector of
column names instead of a "*tidyselect::vars_select()"* object. I think that
would be more natural and would be intuitive for a broader group of R users.
Would you be open to removing *tidyselect* and changing
*feather::read_feather()* this way?
