Create oracle-output target data file schema

Usage

create_oracle_output_schema(
  hub_path,
  na = c("NA", ""),
  ignore_files = NULL,
  r_schema = FALSE,
  output_type_id_datatype = c("from_config", "auto", "character", "double", "integer",
    "logical", "Date")
)

Arguments

hub_path

Either a character string path to a local Modeling Hub directory or an object of class <SubTreeFileSystem> created using functions s3_bucket() or gs_bucket() by providing a string S3 or GCS bucket name or path to a Modeling Hub directory stored in the cloud. For more details consult the Using cloud storage (S3, GCS) in the arrow package. The hub must be fully configured with valid admin.json and tasks.json files within the hub-config directory.

na

A character vector of strings to interpret as missing values. Only applies to CSV files. The default is c("NA", ""). Useful when actual character string "NA" values are used in the data. In such a case, use empty cells to indicate missing values in your files and set na = "".

ignore_files

A character vector of file names (not paths) or file prefixes to ignore when discovering model output files to include in dataset connections. Parent directory names should not be included. Common non-data files such as "README" and ".DS_Store" are ignored automatically, but additional files can be excluded by specifying them here.

r_schema

Logical. If FALSE (default), return an arrow::schema() object. If TRUE, return a character vector of R data types.

output_type_id_datatype

character string. One of "from_config", "auto", "character", "double", "integer", "logical", "Date". Defaults to "from_config" which uses the setting in the output_type_id_datatype property in the tasks.json config file if available. If the property is not set in the config, the argument falls back to "auto" which determines the output_type_id data type automatically from the tasks.json config file as the simplest data type required to represent all output type ID values across all output types in the hub. When only point estimate output types (where output_type_ids are NA,) are being collected by a hub, the output_type_id column is assigned a character data type when auto-determined. Other data type values can be used to override automatic determination. Note that attempting to coerce output_type_id to a data type that is not valid for the data (e.g. trying to coerce"character" values to "double") will likely result in an error or potentially unexpected behaviour so use with care.

Value

an arrow <schema> class object

Examples

hub_path <- system.file("testhubs/v5/target_file", package = "hubUtils")

#  target oracle-output schema from a cloud hub
s3_hub_path <- s3_bucket("example-complex-forecast-hub")
create_oracle_output_schema(s3_hub_path)
