Examples

cars.df = as.disk.frame(cars, nchunks = 2)
get_chunk(cars.df, 1)
get_chunk(cars.df, 2)
get_chunk(cars.df, 1, keep = "speed")

# if full.names = TRUE then the full path to the chunk need to be provided
get_chunk(cars.df, file.path(attr(cars.df, "path"), "1.fst"), full.names = TRUE)

# clean up cars.df
delete(cars.df)
