Jonathan Keane created ARROW-15489:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Expand RecordBatchReader use-ability
Key: ARROW-15489
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15489
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Jonathan Keane
In ARROW-14745 we thought about having {{to_arrow()}} returning a
RecordBatchReader only. Though this would work, it's not quite as friendly as
wrapping the RecordBatchReader since {{arrow_dplyr_query}}s have a (slightly)
nicer print method.
We should add more methods and a print method that makes it clearer what a
RecordBatchReader is and what it might be useful to do (e.g. continue a dplyr
query)
Is it possible that we could make up a name/class that encompasses all of the
Arrow tabular like things that we could wrap all of these up in (for UX
purposes only, really). We have ArrowTabular now, maybe we lean into that more
(along side an LazyArrowTabular like dbplyr has?).
