Description : GNU R simple key-value database
This GNU R package 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.
Remark: This package is needed to run the unit tests of some R packages
maintained by the Debian Med and Debian Science team. It will be maintained
at
svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-filehash/trunk/
