rdatastore

R package for accessing google datastore

To Do

• Add tests for autoallocation of ids when committing.
• Add tests for keep_existing T/F.
• Add test for datetime consistancy.
• When committing, return data and transaction id.
• Add further Blob support.
• Prohibit list, vector, and matrix storage; allow for object storage.

Functions

• lookup - Lookup single entities. Returns a data frame.
• commit - Update a single entity.
• commit_df - Save a dataframe to the google datastore with update/upsert/insert/delete (consistant data).
• commit_list - Save a list (heterogeneous data).
• runQuery - Function for querying. Possibly using dplyr paradigms.
• datasets - A centralized function for tracking/accessing datasets. Read only store.
• [/] gql - Add ability to return all results (batches).

Features

• keep_existing When updating - keep existing values, add new ones, and overwrite where specified.
• Blob Store - limited.

commit_df()

User specifies a key (unique value) for a given dataframe

Planned Arguments:

• use row numbers/names - Use row names for 'names' column and/or numbers; Retreived data will be slightly modified.
• keep_existing - retain existing data; only update values/insert new ones.

datasets()

The aim of the datasets function is to centralize storage of datasets and make them easily searchable.

gql()

Used for running queries.
