Description

Partition input data sources by key values and save the results to a partitioned Xdf on disk.

Usage

  rxPartition(inData, outData, varsToPartition, append = "rows", overwrite = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`inData`

either a data source object, a character string specifying a .xdf file, or a data frame object.

`outData`

a partitioned data source object created by RxXdfData with createPartitionSet = TRUE.

`varsToPartition`

character vector of variable names to specify the values in those variables to be used for partitioning

`append`

either "none" to create a new files or "rows" to append rows to an existing file. If outData exists and append is "none", the overwrite argument must be set to TRUE.

`overwrite`

logical value. If TRUE, an existing outData will be overwritten. overwrite is ignored if append = "rows".

`...`

additional arguments to be passed directly to the Revolution Compute Engine.

Value

a data frame of partitioning values and data sources, each row in the data frame represents one partition and the data source in the last variable holds the data of a specifict partition.

Note

In the current version, this function is single threaded.
