title: 'vectra: Columnar Query Engine for Larger-than-RAM Data'
version: 0.7.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.vectra
abstract: A minimal columnar query engine with lazy execution on datasets larger than
  RAM. Provides 'dplyr'-like verbs (filter(), select(), mutate(), group_by(), summarise(),
  joins, window functions) and common aggregations (n(), sum(), mean(), min(), max(),
  sd(), first(), last()) backed by a pure C11 pull-based execution engine and a custom
  on-disk format ('.vtr'). Reads and writes 'GeoTIFF' (including tiled and 'BigTIFF'
  layouts) and a tiled raster format ('.vec') with overview pyramids and time cubes
  for larger-than-RAM raster data.
