// <etymology>
// ISMBucket represents a bucket in the Incremental Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// The Incremental Storage Manager uses a <linkto class=BucketCache>
// BucketCache</linkto> object to read/write/cache the buckets
// containing the data. An <src>ISMBucket</src> object is the
// internal representation of the contents of a bucket. <src>ISMBucket</src>
// contains static callback functions which are called by
// <src>BucketCache</src> when reading/writing a bucket. These callback
// functions do the mapping of bucket data to <src>ISMBucket</src> object
// and vice-versa.
// <p>
// A bucket contains the values of several rows
// of all columns bound to this Incremental Storage Manager.
// A bucket is split into a data part and an index part.
// Each part has an arbitrary length but together they do not exceed
// the fixed bucket length.
// <p>
// The beginning of the data part contains the values of all columns
// bound. The remainder of the data part contains the values of
// the rows/columns with a changed value.
// <br>
// The index part contains an index per column. Each index contains the
// row number and an offset for a row with a stored value. The row numbers
// are relative to the beginning of the bucket, so the bucket has
// no knowledge about the absolute row numbers. In this way deletion of
// rows is much simpler.
// <p>
// The contents of a bucket looks like:
// <srcblock>
//    -------------------------------------------------------------------
//    | index offset   | data part     | index part              | free |
//    -------------------------------------------------------------------
//     0                4               4+length(data part)
//    <--------------------------bucketsize----------------------------->
// </srcblock>
// The data part contains all data value belonging to the bucket.
// The index part contains for each column the following data:
// <srcblock>
//    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
//    | #values stored | row numbers of values | offset in data part of     |
//    | for column i   | stored for column i   | values stored for column i |
//    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
//     0                4                       4+4*nrval
// </srcblock>
// Note that the row numbers in the bucket start at 0, thus are relative
// to the beginning of the bucket. The main index kept in
// <linkto class=ISMIndex>ISMIndex</linkto> knows the starting row of
// each bucket. In this way bucket splitting and especially row removal
// is much easier.
// <p>
// The bucket can be stored in canonical or local (i.e. native) data format.
// When a bucket is read into memory, its data are read, converted, and
// stored in the ISMBucket object. When flushed, the contents are
// written. ISMBucket takes care that the values stored in its object
// do not exceed the size of the bucket. When full, the user can call
// a function to split it into a left and right bucket. When the new
// value has to be written at the end, the split merely consist of
// creating a new bucket. In any case, care is taken that a row is
// not split. Thus a row is always entirely contained in one bucket.
// <p>
// Class <linkto class=ISMColumn>ISMColumn</linkto> does the actual
// writing of data in a bucket and uses the relevant ISMBucket functions.

// <motivation>
// ISMBucket encapsulates the data of a bucket.
// </motivation>

//# <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//# A List of bugs, limitations, extensions or planned refinements.
