One small last thing : currently, indexes files are named using the

-1, there is a reason we changed back to OID, it is to avoid creating
duplicate indexes
on the same AT.
If we use alias then there is no way to check them,
e.x if user creates two indexes on "cn" and "commonName" then jdbm
creates "cn.db" and "commonName.db" which we cannot distinguish during
creation
We can check that using the SchemaManager, which is available when we
create the files. AT.getName() always return the first alias.
Another case is to find which indexes are no longer needed when user
removes them from config.
Same, using the SM will do the trick.
We store a OID.txt file with AT's definition alongside the index files
to let the user know what that indexed attribute is.
Do we? Never saw this file.
