Dataset Configuration

A dataset configuration object is used to create or load a dataset.

It is a JSON object that looks like this:

{ 
  "id": <id>, 
  "type": <type>, 
  "params": { 
    <params> 
  } 
}

• id is a string that defines the URL at which the dataset will be available via the REST API
• type is a string that specified the dataset's type (see below)
• params is an object that configures the dataset, and whose contents will vary according to the type

Not all three of these fields are required in all contexts:

• one or both of id and type must be specified
  • if only id is specified, MLDB will assume this is a pre-existing dataset and will try to load it (an error will ensue if it doesn't already exist)
  • if type is specified, MLDB will assume that the dataset doesn't exist yet and will try to create it (an error will ensue if it already exists)
    • if type is specified without id, an id will be auto-generated
    • if type is specified with id, the dataset will be created with the specified id unless a dataset already exists with that id
    • if type is specified, then a corresponding params function must be specified if the type requires it

The following types of datasets are available:
