如何在 R 中运行并行计算时在工作线程上设置 .libPaths(检查点)



我使用检查点包进行可重现的数据分析。有些计算需要很长时间才能计算,所以我想并行运行这些计算。 但是,当并行运行时,检查点未在worker上设置,因此我收到一条错误消息"没有名为xy的包">(因为它未安装在我的默认库目录中(。

如何确保每个工作线程都使用检查点文件夹中的包版本?我试图在foreach代码中设置.libPaths,但这似乎不起作用。我也更愿意全局设置一次检查点/libPaths,而不是在每个调用中设置。

另一种选择是更改 .Rprofile 文件,但我不想这样做。

checkpoint::checkpoint("2018-06-01")
library(foreach)
library(doFuture)
library(future)
doFuture::registerDoFuture()
future::plan("multisession")
l <- .libPaths()
# Code to run in parallel does not make much sense of course but I wanted to keep it simple.
res <- foreach::foreach(
x = unique(iris$Species),
lib.path = l
) %dopar% {
.libPaths(lib.path)
stringr::str_c(x, "_")
}

{ 中的错误:任务 2 失败 - "没有名为'stringr'的包">

2022-05-25 更新:从未来的1.20.0 (2021-11-03( 开始,会话并行工作线程会自动从主 R 会话继承 R 库路径 (=.libPaths()(。因此,不再需要以下解决方法。但是,其他未来的后端可能仍然需要它。


将主 R 进程的库路径作为全局变量libs传递并使用.libPaths(libs)为每个工作线程设置它就足够了;

## Use CRAN checkpoint from 2018-07-24 to get future (>= 1.9.0) [1],
## otherwise the below stdout won't be relayed back to the master

仅供参考,未来的路线图是更轻松地将图书馆路径传递给工作人员。
