--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Filtering does not work with .data pronoun
                 Key: ARROW-10668
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10668
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: R
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Sharla Gelfand


Filtering while using the `.data` pronoun does not work properly on arrow datasets - presumably because `.data` is meaningful for something else in arrow? `.data` doesn't always need to be used when using dplyr verbs interactively, but it is pretty much a requirement when writing packages that use the verbs, to [avoid an R CMD check note.|https://rlang.r-lib.org/reference/tidyeval-data.html]

Curious on thoughts/workarounds for this! Thank you!
