tar_deduplicate

R Documentation

Deduplicate meta and progress databases (deprecated).

Description

Deprecated in version 0.3.0 (2020-03-06). Deduplication happens automatically before and after the pipeline runs.

Usage

tar_deduplicate(
  meta = TRUE,
  progress = TRUE,
  store = targets::tar_config_get("store")
)

Arguments

`meta`	Logical, whether to deduplicate the meta database file at `⁠_targets/meta/meta⁠`.
`progress`	Logical, whether to deduplicate the progress database file at `⁠_targets/meta/progress⁠`.
`store`	Character of length 1, path to the `targets` data store. Defaults to `tar_config_get("store")`, which in turn defaults to `⁠_targets/⁠`. When you set this argument, the value of `tar_config_get("store")` is temporarily changed for the current function call. See `tar_config_get()` and `tar_config_set()` for details about how to set the data store path persistently for a project.

Details

Removes duplicated entries in the meta and progress databases in order to lighten storage. These databases are located in the ⁠_targets/meta/meta⁠ and ⁠_targets/meta/progress⁠ files, where ⁠_targets⁠ is the a folder at the project root. No essential data is removed, so this is simply a form of garbage collection.
