Andromeda 1.2.0

Changes:

• Explicitly settings DuckDB’s temp_directory to the Andromeda temp folder to avoid running out of space in an undefined temp location.

• Set default memory limit to 20% instead of 80% of system memory to avoid out-of-memory errors when there are multiple Andromeda objects in memory.

• flushAndromeda() now also evicts the cache by default, and is called after appending or creating a table from another Andromeda table.

• The length() and names() method no longer throw an error when the Andromeda object is no longer valid, but just return 0 and an empty vector, respectively. This is to avoid error messages caused by RStudio querying the object.

Andromeda 0.3.12020-06-03

Bug fixes

• Switching to low-level Java calls to avoid error in CRAN’s Debian test environment.

Andromeda 0.3.0

Changes

• Throw more informative error when user tries to use invalid Andromeda object.

• Added function getAndromedaTempDiskSpace. Requires rJava to be installed. (Returns NA if not installed.)

• Throw warning when disk space becomes low. Threshold defaults to 10GB, but can be altered using options(warnDiskSpaceThreshold = <n>).

• Allow assigning query result to an Andromeda table where the query uses that Andromeda table. (e.g. andromeda$cars <- andromeda$cars %>% filter(speed > 10))

• Added progressBar arguments to batchApply and groupApply.

Bug fixes

• Unzipping now also done in Andromeda temp folder (instead of system temp folder).

• Lower but faster compression level now also used when saving without maintaining connection.

Andromeda 0.2.02020-05-20

Changes

• Dropping nrow and ncol support, as this seems to cause instability and is not consistent with dplyr.

• Dropping isSorted function, as database queries are only guaranteed to stay sorted if explicitly required to (using arrange).

• Added restoreDate and restorePosixct functions.

Bug fixes

• Fixed typo in isAndromeda function name.

• Fixed incompatibility issue with dplyr 1.0.0 causing ‘method not supported’ error.

• Turning of SQLIte journal to increase speed.
