DiskBackedDict{Any,Any} with 1 entry:
"hello" => "world"
The whole dictionary is cached in memory. getindex
performs no disk operations and is as fast as for an
ordinary Dict
. setindex!
performs disk operations and is slow.
- Only one julia process can access a
DiskBackedDict
at a particular path simultaneously.
