Hi list,<br>
<br>
Following the annouce of the release of RprotoBuf I read on <a
href="http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/index.php?post/2010/02/04/RProtoBuf%3A-protocol-buffers-meet-R">romain's
blog</a>, To his suggestion, I repost my comment here for an open
discussion. <br>
<br>
RprotoBuf seems promizing, but could you provide a scenario comparing
the
traditional R approach and the proto buffer approach ? Are you
suggesting the use the proto buffer instead of S4 class definition ? It
appear like a way to access and store larger data structures by not
loading it in memory, am I wrong ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Etienne<br>
