host |
optional host name or I.P. address of a SciDB shim service to connect to |
port |
optional port number of a SciDB shim service to connect to. For connecting
to Shim when the Shim port is forwarded, use |
username |
optional authentication username |
password |
optional authentication password |
auth_type |
optional SciDB authentication type |
protocol |
optional shim protocol type |
admin |
Set to |
int64 |
logical value, if |
doc |
optional AFL operator/macro documentation (see notes) |
A scidb connection object. Use $
to access AFL operators
and macros, ls()
on the returned object to list SciDB arrays,
and names()
on the returned object to list all available AFL operators
and macros.
Use the optional username
and password
arguments with
auth_type
set to "digest" to use HTTP digest authentication (see the
shim documentation to configure this). Digest authentication may use either
"http" or "https" selected by the protocol
setting.
Set auth_type = "scidb"
to use SciDB authentication, which only
works over "https".
Use the returned SciDB connection object (of class afl
) with other
package functions to interact with SciDB arrays. Apply R's ls
function on the returned value to see a list of arrays. The returned value
contains a list of available SciDB AFL language operators and macro names.
Use the dollar-sign function to accesss those functions.
The optional doc
argument may be a three-column data frame with
character-valued columns name, signature, and help containing AFL operator
names, function signatures, and help strings, respectively. See
'data("operators", package="scidb")' for an example.
Forwarded Shim port: Shim usually runs on a selected port e.g. 8080 or 8083
(for secure communication) and those ports need to be opened up to clients. In
other situations, the admin might decide to not open the Shim port and
instead forward the Shim port to a URL like https://hostname/shim/.
In this case, we do not need to supply the port
number during scidbconnect()
; instead one should use port = NULL
and host=HOSTNAME/FORWARDED-PATH/
.
All arguments support partial matching.
