---------------------------
Summary: [R] Error: Filter expression not supported for Arrow
Datasets (substr, grepl, str_detect)
Key: ARROW-10305
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10305
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Reporter: Pal
Hi,
Some expressions, such as substr(), grepl(), str_detect() or others, are not
supported while filtering after open_datatset(). Specifically, the code below :
{{library(dplyr)
library(arrow)
data = data.frame(a = c("a", "a2", "a3"))
write_parquet(data, "Test_filter/data.parquet")
ds <- open_dataset("Test_filter/")
data_flt <- ds %>%
filter(substr(a, 1, 1) == "a")}}
gives this error :
{{Error: Filter expression not supported for Arrow Datasets: substr(a, 1, 1) ==
"a"
Call collect() first to pull data into R.}}
These expressions may be very helpful, not to say necessary, to filter and
collect a very large dataset. Is there anything it can be done to implement
this new feature ?
Thank you.
