Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-11789:
-----------------------------------------
I think I'd prefer the latter, though either way we'd support this through
open_dataset %>% collect.
> [R] Support vector of multiple file paths in read_*() functions
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-11789
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11789
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Ian Cook
> Priority: Major
>
> In an upcoming version of readr, {{read_csv()}} and friends will support
> vectors of multiple file paths. Consider adding support for this to the
> {{arrow::read_*()}} functions. In the {{as_data_frame = FALSE}} case,
> consider whether the result should be a Table or a Dataset and whether the
> user should be offered a choice of which, and if Dataset, consider whether
> there should be options for partitioning.
> Alternatively we might add support for vectors of multiple file paths to
> {{arrow::open_dataset()}}, and note in the {{read_*()}} function docs to use
> {{open_dataset()}} for this purpose.
