Datastore
The datastore function creates a datastore, which is a
repository for collections of data that are too large to fit in memory. A
datastore allows you to read and process data stored in multiple files on a
disk, a remote location, or a database as a single entity. If the data is
too large to fit in memory, you can manage the incremental import of data,
create a tall array to work with the data, or use the
datastore as an input to mapreduce for further
processing. For more information, see Getting Started with Datastore.

- Getting Started with Datastore
A datastore is an object for reading a single file or a collection of files or data.
- Select Datastore for File Format or Application
Choose the right datastore based on the file format of your data or application.
- Read and Analyze Large Tabular Text File
This example shows how to create a datastore for a large text file containing tabular data, and then read and process the data one block at a time or one file at a time.
