Hi list,
Following the annouce of the release of RprotoBuf I read on romain's
blog
<http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/index.php?post/2010/02/04/RProtoBuf%3A-protocol-buffers-meet-R>,
To his suggestion, I repost my comment here for an open discussion.
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 ?
Thanks,
Etienne
