External Description

Indexing and array-like access to data stored on disk rather than in memory External provides a way to index and access array data directly from a file without loading it into memory. Indexes may be cached in memory or stored on disk with the data file, in essence giving you arbitrarily large arrays. Also, Externals will automatically buffer and chunk methods like each so that the memory footprint remains low even during enumeration.NOTE: External is licensed and provided under the terms of the MIT/X Consortium License. What's New in This Release: · Major update with refactoring (ex ExtArr is now ExternalArray) and greatly expanded testing. · [] and []= methods now comply with the Array specification in RubySpec. · Implementation of other methods is under way.
