Description Objects from the Class
A Large File object. This is a reference to a dataset on disk. The data itself is not read into memory (yet). This can be done by the methods for blockwise processing or by indexing the object as a data.frame. The code has been optimised for fast access.
Objects can be created by opening a file using one of the methods
laf_open_csv
or laf_open_fwf
. These create a
reference to either a CSV file or a fixed width file. The data in these
files can either be accessed using blockwise operations using the methods
begin
, next_block
and goto
. Or by indexing the laf
object as you would a data.frame. In the following example a CSV file
is opened and its first column (of type integer) is read into memory:
1 2 3 | laf <- laf_open_csv("file.csv", column_types=c("integer", "double"))
data <- laf[ , 1]
