Hey all,
All the object serialization/deserialization libraries I could find (pretty
much just binary and cereal) seem to be strict with respect to the actual data
being serialized. In particular, if I've serialized a large [Int] to a file,
and I want to get the first element, it seems I have no choice but to
deserialize the entire data structure. This is obviously an issue for large
data sets.
There are obvious workarounds (explicitly fetch elements from the "database"
instead of relying on unsafeInterleaveIO to deal with it all magically), but
it seems like it should be possible to build a cereal-like library that allows
proper lazy deserialization. Does it exist, and I've just missed it?
Thanks,
