Item No.6 kdb+'s tasks: Is it referring to direct file access (similar to loadFile), bypassing q process (similar to loadTable)?

[peeyee]

Yes, the way of loadTable/File is totally loading the data into DolphinDB's in-memory table. Thus comes a problem if we do not have enough memory，especially for community users. So we want to have a method loadTextEx that directly loading data into DolphinDB's DFS table, meanwhile reduce the memory usage, for example, each batch costs 512MB.
