 \class ROOT::Experimental::Internal::ML::RDataLoaderEngine
\brief
 
In this class, the processes of loading clusters (see RClusterLoader) and creating batches from those clusters (see
RBatchLoader) are combined, allowing batches from the training and validation sets to be loaded directly from a dataset
in an RDataFrame.
