Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-17439:
-----------------------------------------
Yes, it is an API change, and initially I wrote pull() to return an R vector to
match the dbplyr expectation. But because arrow has a meaningful in-memory
vector structure (Array/ChunkedArray), it makes sense to use it; it's just not
possible in the same way with a remote SQL database with dbplyr.
> [R] pull() should compute() not collect()

> Currently {{pull()}} returns an R vector, but it's the only dplyr verb other
> than {{collect()}} that returns an R data structure. And there's no other
> natural way to extract a ChunkedArray from the result of an arrow query.
