Datastore
The datastore
function creates a datastore, which is a
repository for collections of data that are too large to fit in memory. A
datastore allows you to read and process data stored in multiple files on a
disk, a remote location, or a database as a single entity. If the data is
too large to fit in memory, you can manage the incremental import of data,
create a tall
array to work with the data, or use the
datastore as an input to mapreduce
for further
processing. For more information, see Getting Started with Datastore.
