How to Use File Datastores

Learn how to efficiently import your data no matter the file type with file datastores. File datastores provide the flexibility to define how you want to read your data, from what format to read it on to how much data to read at a time. In this demonstration, you will learn how to create a file datastore for a single file and a collection of files, what options you have for customizing the datastore, and how to write a function to import your data exactly as you want it.
