The use of the term "selection" rather than "filter" was the main inconsistency that I am seeing in our APIs and was also different to the terminology used in Spark and Pandas. I had used the term "selection" based on Codd's relational algebra [1] but it does seem that the term "filter" is more widely used so I renamed based on that.
