Abstract: A common problem when working with large data sets is that one is limited at looking at snippets of the whole of the data, because retrieving the entire data set from a database is inefficient. The solution is to bring the data closer to the user, allowing interactive exploration at the speed of the underlying storage medium. Mappable Vector Library (MVL) accomplishes this by memory mapping the entire data set, allowing direct access from R using the RMVL package (a C library is also available). We introduce MVL and illustrate its capabilities using 1 TB of Gaia data.
