Description of the usage is in the file added. In brief my idea is that every time you generate a new data version, you also run a couple of extra functions on the same parameters used to generate the file version. This should be enough to generate a md5sum object to then compare when loading.
A data loading example is also shown in the same script.
Overall, these functions could be implemented in a fancier way in a data generation pipeline, but even so they should speed data loading by 5x at least.
