// <etymology>
// SSMIndex represent the bucket index in the Standard Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// In <linkto class=SSMBase>SSMBase</linkto> it is described that an index
// is used to map row number to data bucket in a bucket stream.
// This class implements this index. It serves 2 purposes:
// <ol>
//  <li> It keeps a block of row numbers giving the last row number
//       stored in each data bucket.
//       <br>Note that each bucket does not need to contain the same number
//       of rows, because rows might be deleted from it.
//       When all rows are deleted from a bucket, the bucket is removed
//       from the index and added to the free bucket list.
//  <li> When a column is deleted, the bucket will have a hole.
//       SSMIndex maintains a map to know the size and offset of each hole.
//       Adjacent holes are combined.
//       When a new column is added <linkto class=SSMBase>SSMBase</linkto>
//       will scan the SSMIndex objects to find the hole fitting best.
// </ol>
// </synopsis>
  
// <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//# A List of bugs, limitations, extensions or planned refinements.
//   <li> recreate should recreate the itsLastRow && itsBucketNr as well
//        (moving them to the front and rearrange the freespace as one
//        concatenated block)
