Package: awkreader Title: File Reading with Pre-Filtering, Pattern Searching, and Distributed Files Version: 0.1.0 Authors@R: c(person("David", "Shilane", role = "aut", email = "david.shilane@columbia.edu"), person("Akshat", "Maurya", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "codingmaster902@gmail.com"), person("Jason", "Livingston", role = "aut"), person("Chung-Woo (Caffrey)", "Lee", role = "aut"), person("Mayur", "Bansal", role = "aut"), person("Srivastav", "Budugutta", role = "aut")) Description: Provides high-performance tools for out-of-core text processing and data ingestion by leveraging system 'AWK' utilities. Allows users to count records, filter rows, and compute streaming aggregations—such as group-by means, streaming medians, standard deviations, and correlations—directly on disk prior to reading data into R. By delegating line-by-line filtering and summarization to system-level 'AWK' commands and streaming results back through data.table::fread(), the package significantly reduces memory footprint and execution times when working with large individual files or multi-file directory structures.
