Hi All,
I am currently trying to familiarize with "ff" package which allows me to store
R objects in the hard drive. One of things that I notice when reading in a text
file with "read.csv.ffdf" function - is that, in the R temp folder, 1000+
small files get created, each file having a name like "ffdf1bcd8b4aa0.ff". Each
file is about 5KB in size.
My understanding is, the whole file has been split into small small pieces and
stored in the hard drive. What I am trying to see is that - is there a way to
reduce the number of splits by increasing the file size?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Indrajit
