/*
  First, if you want to understand storage engines you should look at 
  ha_example.cc and ha_example.h. 
  This example was written as a test case for a customer who needed
  a storage engine without indexes that could compress data very well.
  So, welcome to a completely compressed storage engine. This storage
  engine only does inserts. No replace, deletes, or updates. All reads are 
  complete table scans. Compression is done through azip (bzip compresses
  better, but only marginally, if someone asks I could add support for
  it too, but beaware that it costs a lot more in CPU time then azip).
  
  We keep a file pointer open for each instance of ha_archive for each read
  but for writes we keep one open file handle just for that. We flush it
  only if we have a read occur. azip handles compressing lots of records
  at once much better then doing lots of little records between writes.
  It is possible to not lock on writes but this would then mean we couldn't
  handle bulk inserts as well (that is if someone was trying to read at
  the same time since we would want to flush).

  A "meta" file is kept alongside the data file. This file serves two purpose.
  The first purpose is to track the number of rows in the table. The second 
  purpose is to determine if the table was closed properly or not. When the 
  meta file is first opened it is marked as dirty. It is opened when the table 
  itself is opened for writing. When the table is closed the new count for rows 
  is written to the meta file and the file is marked as clean. If the meta file 
  is opened and it is marked as dirty, it is assumed that a crash occured. At 
  this point an error occurs and the user is told to rebuild the file.
  A rebuild scans the rows and rewrites the meta file. If corruption is found
  in the data file then the meta file is not repaired.

  At some point a recovery method for such a drastic case needs to be divised.

  Locks are row level, and you will get a consistant read. 

  For performance as far as table scans go it is quite fast. I don't have
  good numbers but locally it has out performed both Innodb and MyISAM. For
  Innodb the question will be if the table can be fit into the buffer
  pool. For MyISAM its a question of how much the file system caches the
  MyISAM file. With enough free memory MyISAM is faster. Its only when the OS
  doesn't have enough memory to cache entire table that archive turns out 
  to be any faster. For writes it is always a bit slower then MyISAM. It has no
  internal limits though for row length.

  Examples between MyISAM (packed) and Archive.

  Table with 76695844 identical rows:
  29680807 a_archive.ARZ
  920350317 a.MYD


  Table with 8991478 rows (all of Slashdot's comments):
  1922964506 comment_archive.ARZ
  2944970297 comment_text.MYD


  TODO:
   Add bzip optional support.
   Allow users to set compression level.
   Add truncate table command.
   Implement versioning, should be easy.
   Allow for errors, find a way to mark bad rows.
   Talk to the azip guys, come up with a writable format so that updates are doable
     without switching to a block method.
   Add optional feature so that rows can be flushed at interval (which will cause less
     compression but may speed up ordered searches).
   Checkpoint the meta file to allow for faster rebuilds.
   Dirty open (right now the meta file is repaired if a crash occured).
   Option to allow for dirty reads, this would lower the sync calls, which would make
     inserts a lot faster, but would mean highly arbitrary reads.

  Notes on file formats.
  The Meta file is layed out as:
  check - Just an int of 254 to make sure that the the file we are opening was
          never corrupted.
  version - The current version of the file format.
  rows - This is an unsigned long long which is the number of rows in the data
         file.
  check point - Reserved for future use
  dirty - Status of the file, whether or not its values are the latest. This
          flag is what causes a repair to occur

  The data file:
  check - Just an int of 254 to make sure that the the file we are opening was
          never corrupted.
  version - The current version of the file format.
  data - The data is stored in a "row +blobs" format.
