// <etymology>
// TSMCube represents a hypercube in the Tiled Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// TSMCube defines a tiled hypercube. The data is stored in a TSMFile
// object and accessed using a BucketCache object. The hypercube can
// be extensible in its last dimension to support tables with a size
// which is not known in advance.
// <br>
// Normally hypercubes share the same TSMFile object, but extensible
// hypercubes have their own TSMFile object (to be extensible).
// If the hypercolumn has multiple data columns, their cells share the same
// tiles. Per tile data column A appears first, thereafter B, etc..
// <br>
// The data in the cache is held in external format and is converted
// when accessed. The alternative would be to hold it in the cache in
// local format and convert it when read/written from the file. It was
// felt that the latter approach would generate more needless conversions.
// <p>
// The possible id and coordinate values are stored in a Record
// object. They are written in the main hypercube AipsIO file.
// <p>
// TSMCube uses the maximum cache size set for a Tiled Storage manager.
// The description of class
// <linkto class=ROTiledStManAccessor>ROTiledStManAccessor</linkto>
// contains a discussion about the effect of setting the maximum cache size.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// TSMCube encapsulates all operations on a hypercube.
// </motivation>
