View source: R/read.R

The file to be read must be a DataFrame (.df) file. The content of the file is returned as an R data.frame object.

1	readDataFrame(filepath)

filepath

The path to the file to read

The column types from Raven DataFrames are mapped to the corresponding R types. More specifically, all integer types (byte, short, int, long) are mapped to the R 'integer' type. The floating point types (float, double) are mapped to the R 'double' type. Both string and char types are mapped to the R 'character' type. Booleans are mapped to the R 'logical' type. Binary columns are represented as R 'list' types containing raw vectors.

A data.frame object

deserializeDataFrame() for deserializing vectors of raw bytes.
writeDataFrame() for writing DataFrame files which can be read by this function.
