Issues with pausing data extraction in R-Studio
Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2017 3:22 pm
There are a long-existing issue with pausing data extraction in R-Studio.
When "Stop" button on data extraction dialog is clicked, the new dialog pops up with 3 options - "Abort recovery", "Skip file", "Continue recovery".
The first two buttons work correctly, but "Continue" does not.
When "Continue" is slicked, the utility leaves the current file partially extracted, and tries to recover it again.
This creates two problems:
1. If extraction mode it to "skip" duplicates, the partially extracted file would survive.
2. If extraction mode it to "overwrite" duplicates , and the file in question is huge, we'd loose time to re-extract some portion of it. It could be hours for large VMs.
There are two probable solutions:
1. continue to extract the file from the position when "stop" was clicked. This is the best option.
2. automatically delete any partially extracted files.
