   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.
