batchExport: Export Objects to the Slaves

Description

Objects are saved in subdirectory “exports” of the “file.dir” of reg. They are automatically loaded and placed in the global environment each time the registry is loaded or a job collection is executed.

Usage

batchExport(
  export = list(),
  unexport = character(0L),
  reg = getDefaultRegistry()
)

Arguments

export

[list] Named list of objects to export.

unexport

[character] Vector of object names to unexport.

reg

[Registry] Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see setDefaultRegistry).

Value

[data.table] with name and uri to the exported objects.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
tmp = makeRegistry(file.dir = NA, make.default = FALSE)

# list exports
exports = batchExport(reg = tmp)
print(exports)

# add a job and required exports
batchMap(function(x) x^2 + y + z, x = 1:3, reg = tmp)
exports = batchExport(export = list(y = 99, z = 1), reg = tmp)
print(exports)

submitJobs(reg = tmp)
waitForJobs(reg = tmp)
stopifnot(loadResult(1, reg = tmp) == 101)

# Un-export z
exports = batchExport(unexport = "z", reg = tmp)
print(exports)
# }
