**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** Currently the `DataFrame.collect()` returns a `list` of all of the buffered `RecordBatches`. This is often not desirable as a user may, for example, want to write the result out to disk as it is materialized to save memory. **Describe the solution you'd like** It would be great to have a `to_arrow_batches()` method which returned a `RecordBatchReader` which deferred the execution of the batches until they are requested from the `RecordBatchReader`. **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
