fetch_adapter: Fetch a syberia IO adapter.

In robertzk/syberiaStages: Syberia Stages

Description

IO adapters are (reference class) objects that have a read and write method. By wrapping things in an adapter, you do not have to worry about whether to use, e.g., read.csv versus s3read or write.csv versus s3store. If you are familiar with the tundra package, think of adapters as like tundra containers for importing and exporting data.

Usage

Arguments

keyword

character. The keyword for the adapter (e.g., 'file', 's3', etc.)

Details

Value

an adapter object (defined in this package, syberiaStages)
