Dear R Developers, I am writing as I would like to propose a github project for the creation of on-disk data.frames/tibbles.
These new S3 class, could be based on feathers (which have a columnar structure for saving data), which would allow the use of matrix notation or $ symbols for individual column access, as if they where regular in-memory data.frames. The feather github project link is on the following page: https://github.com/wesm/feather SparkR Apache project, as I have been told in R-devel, offers a similar functionality, but the point is to extend it for feathers: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sparkr.html Anyone would be interested in such project? Kind regards, Juan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
