在R中运行并行计算时如何在worker上设置.libPaths(检查点) [英] How to set .libPaths (checkpoint) on workers when running parallel computation in R
问题描述
我使用检查点包进行可重复的数据分析.有些计算需要很长时间才能计算出来，因此我想并行运行这些计算. 并行运行时，但是未在工作进程上设置检查点，因此我收到一条错误消息没有名为xy的软件包" (因为它没有安装在我的默认库目录中).
如何确保每个工作人员都使用checkpoint文件夹中的软件包版本?我试图在foreach代码中设置.libPaths，但这似乎不起作用.我还希望全局设置一次checkpoint/libPaths，而不是在每个foreach调用中都设置一次.
另一种选择是更改.Rprofile文件，但我不想这样做.
checkpoint::checkpoint("2018-06-01")
library(foreach)
library(doFuture)
library(future)
doFuture::registerDoFuture()
future::plan("multisession")
l <- .libPaths()
# Code to run in parallel does not make much sense of course but I wanted to keep it simple.
res <- foreach::foreach(
x = unique(iris$Species),
lib.path = l
) %dopar% {
.libPaths(lib.path)
stringr::str_c(x, "_")
}
{中的错误:任务2失败-没有名为'stringr'的软件包"

将主R进程的库路径作为全局变量libs传递，并使用.libPaths(libs)为每个工作程序设置它就足够了；

I use the checkpoint package for reproducible data analysis. Some of the computations take a long time to compute, so I want to run those in parallel. When run in parallel however the checkpoint is not set on the workers, so I get an error message "there is no package called xy" (because it is not installed in my default library directory).
How can I make sure, that each worker uses the package versions in the checkpoint folder? I tried to set .libPaths in the foreach code but this does not seem to work. I would also prefer to set the checkpoint/libPaths once globally and not in every foreach call.
Another option could be to change the .Rprofile file, but I do not want to do this.
checkpoint::checkpoint("2018-06-01")
library(foreach)
library(doFuture)
library(future)
doFuture::registerDoFuture()
future::plan("multisession")
l <- .libPaths()
# Code to run in parallel does not make much sense of course but I wanted to keep it simple.
res <- foreach::foreach(
x = unique(iris$Species),
lib.path = l
) %dopar% {
.libPaths(lib.path)
stringr::str_c(x, "_")
}
Error in { : task 2 failed - "there is no package called 'stringr'"

Passing the the library path of the master R process as a global variable libs and set it for each worker using .libPaths(libs) should be enough;

FYI, it is on future's roadmap to make it easier to pass down the library path(s) to workers.
