Saving and loading IndexedFst

Description

Functions to save or load and indexed fst file

Saves a data.frame (or GRanges object) into an indexed FST file.

Usage

loadIndexedFst(file, nthreads = 1)

saveIndexedFst(
  d,
  index.by,
  file.prefix,
  nthreads = 1,
  index.properties = NULL,
  add.info = list(),
  ...
)

Arguments

file	Path to the fst file, it's index (.idx), or their prefix.
nthreads	Number of threads to use for reading (default 1). This does not affect the loading of the index itself, but will affect all downstream reading operations performed on the object. If NULL, will use 'fst::threads_fst()'.
d	A data.frame or GRanges object
index.by	A column of 'd' by which it should be indexed.
file.prefix	Path and prefix of the output files.
index.properties	An optional data.frame of properties, with the levels of 'index.by' as row names.
add.info	An optional list of additional information to save.
...	Passed to 'write.fst'

Value

'loadIndexedFst' returns an object of class IndexedFst-class, and 'saveIndexedFst' returns nothing.

Examples

# we first create and save an indexed FST file
tmp <- tempdir()
f <- system.file(tmp, "test")
d <- data.frame( category=sample(LETTERS[1:4], 10000, replace=TRUE),
                 var2=sample(LETTERS, 10000, replace=TRUE),
                 var3=runif(10000) )
saveIndexedFst(d, "category", f)
# we then load the index, and can use category names for random access:
d <- loadIndexedFst(f)
