charFileHash: Character File Hash Function
In datadr: Divide and Recombine for Large, Complex Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

Function to be used to specify the file where key-value pairs get stored for local disk connections, useful when keys are scalar strings. Should be passed as the argument fileHashFn to localDiskConn.

1	charFileHash(keys, conn)

`keys`	keys to be hashed
`conn`	a "localDiskConn" object

You shouldn't need to call this directly other than to experiment with what the output looks like or to get ideas on how to write your own custom hash.

# connect to empty localDisk directory
path <- file.path(tempdir(), "irisSplit")
unlink(path, recursive = TRUE)
conn <- localDiskConn(path, autoYes = TRUE, fileHashFn = charFileHash)
# add some data
addData(conn, list(list("key1", iris[1:10,])))
addData(conn, list(list("key2", iris[11:110,])))
addData(conn, list(list("key3", iris[111:150,])))
# see that files were stored by their key
list.files(path)
