First steps in JuliaDB

I’m taking first steps with JuliaDB, but I’m already falling on my face. My first stumble was the difference between loadtable and load. Why do I need a different method name for a different input format? Moving on…
I’m now trying to perform some simple operations on the table. For example:

tb = load("Digits") 
Distributed Table with 66889667 rows in 10 chunks:
Columns:
#   colname     type
───────────────────────
1   idx         Int64
2   mcpidx      Int64
3   pixelID     Int64
4   time        Float64
5   x           Float64
6   y           Float64
7   z           Float64
8   px          Float64
9   py          Float64
10  pz          Float64
11  thetaC      Float64
12  localTheta  Float64
13  localPhi    Float64

but:

select(tb, :x)
MethodError: Dagger.distribute(::Dagger.DArray{Int64,1,JuliaDB.##58#60}, ::Dagger.DomainBlocks{1}) is ambiguous. Candidates:

  distribute(x::AbstractArray, dist) in Dagger at /home/ilc/jstrube/.julia/v0.6/Dagger/src/array/darray.jl:390
Possible fix, define

I don’t dispute that a 66-million-entry vector may not be immediately useful for further exploration, but I don’t understand what this error message is trying to tell me.

Sorry, I wish I hadn’t missed this when you posted.

A lot has happened inside JuliaDB since then. Does the error still occur in the latest release?
