| Title: | R Bindings to the 'Fstlib' Library |
|---|---|
| Description: | The 'fstlib' library provides multithreaded serialization of compressed data frames using the 'fst' format. The 'fst' format allows for random access of stored data and compression with the 'LZ4' and 'ZSTD' compressors. |

R package fstcore contains R bindings to the C++ fstlib library which allows interfacing with fst files.
It also contains the LZ4 and ZSTD sources used for compression. fstcore exists as a package separate from the
fst package to facilitate independent updates to the fstlib, LZ4 and ZSTD libraries and is used as a
backend to fst.
The fstcore package is based on six C++ libraries or components:
fstlib: library containing code to write, read and compute on files stored in the fst format. Written and owned by Mark Klik.
LZ4: library containing code to compress data with the LZ4 compressor. Written and owned by Yann Collet.
ZSTD: library containing code to compress data with the ZSTD compressor. Written by Yann Collet and owned by Facebook, Inc.
libdivsufsort-lite: a lightweight suffix array construction algorithm. This code is bundled with the ZSTD compression library. Written and owned by Yuta Mori.
sources from zstdmt: a multithreading library for Brotli, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5 and Zstandard. This code is bundled with the ZSTD library. Written and owned by Tino Reichardt.
source file zstd_opt.h: Price functions for optimal parser. Written and owned by Yann Collet and Przemyslaw Skibinski. This code is bundled with the ZSTD library.

For parallel operations, the performance is determined to a great extend by the number of threads
used. More threads will allow the CPU to perform more computational intensive tasks simultaneously,
speeding up the operation. Using more threads also introduces some overhead that will scale with the
number of threads used. Therefore, using the maximum number of available threads is not always the
fastest solution. With threads_fstlib the number of threads can be adjusted to the users
specific requirements. As a default, fstcore uses a number of threads equal to the number of
logical cores in the system.

The number of threads can also be set with options(fst_threads = N).
NOTE: This option is only read when the package's namespace is first loaded, with commands like
library, require, or ::. If you have already used one of these, you
must use threads_fstlib to set the number of threads.
