Datastore

Read large collections of data

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.
