Overview

About

Maintained by Isaiah NortonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

The modern database 'TileDB' introduces a powerful on-disk format for storing and accessing any complex data based on multi-dimensional arrays. It supports dense and sparse arrays, dataframes and key-values stores, cloud storage ('S3', 'GCS', 'Azure'), chunked arrays, multiple compression, encryption and checksum filters, uses a fully multi-threaded implementation, supports parallel I/O, data versioning ('time travel'), metadata and groups. It is implemented as an embeddable cross-platform C++ library with APIs from several languages, and integrations. This package provides the R support.

Changes in 0.33.0

This release of the R package builds against TileDB 2.29.0, and has also been tested against earlier releases as well as the development version

Improvements

Schema-dump output is no longer truncated in the case that there are any null fill values in the schema (@johnkerl in #825)
tiledb_attr() now prints the attribute object as expected and documentation has been corrected (@cgiachalis in #823)
tiledb_attr() now works when setting ncells=NA to signal variable length (@johnkerl in #830)
tiledb_array() now emits the correct error message when using selected_points argument (@cgiachalis in #833)
tiledb_group_open() now respects and defaults to the first option in type argument (@cgiachalis in #838)
tiledb_config_unset() now correctly returns the modified configuration object (@cgiachalis in #841)

Documentation

The package documentation website was updated (@cgiachalis in #822, #826)

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("tiledb", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("TileDB-Inc/TileDB-R")

Development version from TileDB-Inc/TileDB-R. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tiledb

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tiledb

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
