Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-16871:
-----------------------------------------
[~higgicd] would you like to make a pull request to implement this? I think it
will be straightforward if you follow the examples of other function bindings
(like
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/R/dplyr-funcs-math.R#L71-L74 code
and
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/tests/testthat/test-dplyr-funcs-math.R
tests).
> [R] Implement exp() and sqrt() in Arrow dplyr queries
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-16871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16871
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 8.0.0
> Environment: Windows 10, R 4.2.0, RStudio 2022.02.3 Build 492
> Reporter: Chris Higgins
> Priority: Major
> Labels: good-first-issue
> Fix For: 9.0.0

>
> The change log for v8.0.0 notes that functions like exp(), log() and sqrt()
> can be used in R. I have been trying to calculate exp(x) on a field in a
> dataset, but this does not work. I _can_ calculate exp(10) on just some
> number, and I can raise to e manually (2.71828^(x)). Here's some basic
> reproducible code:
> {code:java}
> ```{r}
> test_df <- data.frame(x = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), y = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
> write_dataset(test_df, "./test_ds")
> test_ds <- open_dataset("./test_ds")
> # does not work
> test_ds %>% mutate(z = exp(x)) %>% collect()
> # does work
> test_ds %>% mutate(z = 2.71828^(x)) %>% collect()
> # also works
> test_ds %>% mutate(z = exp(10)) %>% collect()
> ``` {code}
