Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-11789:
-----------------------------------------

I think I'd prefer the latter, though either way we'd support this through open_dataset %>% collect.

> 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.
