I was looking to see if there was more documentation on -part.txt for the Ibis implementation.
In particular, is it possible to use an binary data that is a appended arrays of columnar data, by providing the offset per array? As a related question, could you specify a struct offset if the data happen to be an array of structs (this particular use case isn't, but other data might be). Or does FastBit fundamentally require that the data are written as 0 offset, dense columnar binary data? If not, how easy/hard would it be to use the library to be able to generate indices on that sort of data? Essentially, the use case will not/cannot reformat/copy the data because it is too big. Though, it is essentially columnar, but not separate files per column (columns are offsets into a single file).
