Dear John,Thank you in advance for your time. I am bit of a novice in this area, so my apologies for the quality of my question. I studied FastBit quite a bit in the last couple of days and stepped through the tcapi example in particular. Let me refine my question below a bit. It looks like FastBit needs to serialize the index information into the filesystem. This is fine. However, I also noticedthat it also serializes a transformation of the original data as well (I was looking at fastbit_add_values). Is this true?If so, why is FastBit duplicating the original data (in a different form)? In other words, why can't FastBit use the compressed index information to map to the original data?

Hi,I was reading on https://sdm.lbl.gov/~kewu/fastbit/doc/quickstart.html that FastBit partitions the data in a directory in the filesystem. Is this the only way to use FastBit? In other words, can FastBit be used as an in-memory data base? My data is in memory and I don't wish to serialize it to the hard disk.
