# Using the DelayedArray infrastructure

A remote dataset is accessed by giving the URL of the server, the
type of the server (At present the only valid value is `hsds`.), the file domain (path 
to the HDF5 file) and the full path to the dataset inside the HDF5 file. 

## Interface to HSDS (HDF Object Store)
```{r lkdela3}
if (check_hsds()) {
 da <- HSDSArray('http://hsdshdflab.hdfgroup.org', 'hsds', 
      '/shared/bioconductor/tenx_full.h5', '/newassay001')
 da
}
```

Again we have DelayedArray capabilities.
```{r lkdel3}
if (check_hsds()) {
 apply(da[,1:4],2,sum)
}
```
