Convert a files_daf directory to a zarr_daf directory.

Source: R/zarr_convert.R
files_to_zarr.Rd

Both formats store identical raw little-endian numeric payloads on disk. This conversion re-serializes only the JSON metadata and the string blobs (which differ between formats: files-format uses newline-delimited UTF-8, while Zarr uses vlen-utf8).

Usage

files_to_zarr(src, dst)

Arguments

src

Path to an existing files_daf directory.

dst

Path to a non-existing destination directory; will be created. Errors if dst already exists.

Value

Invisibly the destination path.

Details

Same-filesystem only. The function probes a hard-link from src to dst up front; if the link fails (typically because the paths are on different filesystems) the call errors with no automatic copy fallback.

Note: this implementation is correctness-first; the numeric blobs are re-written through the regular set_* API rather than hard-linked. The probe still enforces the same-filesystem constraint so a future hard-link optimization can ship without an API break.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
files_to_zarr("/path/to/files.daf", "/path/to/converted.daf.zarr")
} # }
