table_proxy: A proxy for a remote table

In fstpackage/fsttable: Interface to on-disk data manipulation on fst files

Description

This method defines a table_proxy object that encapsulates a remote_table. A table_proxy is a virtual construct that emulates a full table. The actual column data is kept in the physical table as long as possible to keep interaction with the table_proxy as fast as possible. Operations on a table_proxy object yield a new table_proxy object with (possibly) modified meta-data to emulate the result.

Usage

table_proxy(remote_table)

Arguments

remote_table

A object with a custom class. That class should implement the generics required for a data.table proxy

Value

A table_proxy object that can be used a a virtual table.
