disk.frame has been soft-deprecated and users nudged to use arrow instead. there is even a helper function disk.frame_to_parquet() to assist with the transition.
However, one of the nice features of disk.frame is it's ability to use data.table syntax rather than dplyr, which is used by arrow.
Currently, disk.frame is only used for cohortDataFactorial and speciesTableFactorial.
