Provide support for different realization strategies (via BACKEND) #11

Open PeteHaitch opened 7 years ago

PeteHaitch commented 7 years ago

E.g.,

colSums2 <- function(x, rows = NULL, cols = NULL, na.rm = FALSE, dim. = dim(x), BACKEND = "auto",  ...)

where backend = "auto" (or something similarly named) makes a sensible automatic choice based on backend of x.

Especially important for methods that return an object of the same size as input, e.g. colCummaxs()

Will add support once there are some more backend-aware methods, e.g., colCummaxs,HDF5Matrix-method (beachmat supports returning a HDF5Matrix)
