Package

r-filehash

Description

Simple Key-Value Database. Implements a simple key-value style database
where character string keys are associated with data values that are
stored on the disk. A simple interface is provided for inserting,
retrieving, and deleting data from the database. Utilities are provided
that allow 'filehash' databases to be treated much like environments and
lists are already used in R. These utilities are provided to encourage
interactive and exploratory analysis on large datasets. Three different
file formats for representing the database are currently available and
new formats can easily be incorporated by third parties for use in the
'filehash' framework.
