CLEANUP: Rewrite dsApply() to use futures #11

Closed HenrikBengtsson closed 9 years ago

HenrikBengtsson commented 9 years ago

Rewrite dsApply() to use futures from the 'future' package. This would at the same time remove the dependency on the Biocparallel and BatchJobs packages. The latter will be supported by the 'async' package that provides batchjobs futures.

This will put future, globals and listenv up for another good real-world test.

Road map:

[x] Add support for dsApply(..., .parallel="future").
[ ] Make dsApply(..., .parallel="future") the default.
[ ] Deprecated other parallel options.
[ ] Eventually, drop other parallel options.
[ ] Make dsApply() to always use futures.
