// <etymology>
// ISMIndex represents the index in the Incremental Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// ISMIndex maintains an index of all buckets in an ISM (Incremental Storage
// Manager). The index consists of the starting row number and the
// bucket number of each bucket in the BucketCache object of the ISM.
// When the ISM is opened, the entire index is read in and kept in memory.
// When the ISM is closed or flushed, the index is written back after
// all buckets in the file. A little header at the beginning of the file
// indicates the starting offset of the index.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// ISMIndex encapsulates all operations on the ISM index.
// </motivation>

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