Imports a SNOMED CT RF2 snapshot release (archive or extracted directory) into a local terminology store. The import runs as Spark jobs and replaces any previous content for the same code system version atomically.

pathling_import_snomed(
  pc,
  source,
  storage_path,
  edition_uri = NULL,
  dense_id_order = NULL,
  default_dialect = NULL
)

Arguments

pc

The PathlingContext object.

source

The path to an RF2 release archive or extracted directory, on any filesystem accessible through the Hadoop FileSystem API.

storage_path

The terminology store location, created if absent.

edition_uri

An explicit SNOMED edition/version URI, overriding detection. Defaults to NULL.

dense_id_order

How dense identifiers are assigned to concepts, either "code-order" (the default) or "pre-order". The pre-order makes the runtime hierarchy index materially smaller, in exchange for identifiers that shift more between releases. Defaults to NULL.

default_dialect

The dialect whose preferred synonyms become the stored display of every concept, given as a dialect tag such as "en-GB", as a private-use dialect extension tag, or as a language reference set identifier. When NULL, the dialect is chosen from the release: the sole language reference set where there is only one, or US English for the International edition. A release that holds several and is not the International edition fails the import, naming the candidates. Defaults to NULL.

Value

The PathlingContext object, invisibly.
