+/*
+  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 or updates. All reads are 
+  complete table scans. Compression is done through gzip (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 gzip).
+  
+  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. gzip 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).
+
+  No attempts at durability are made. You can corrupt your data.
+
+  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 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.
+   Implement optimize so we can fix broken tables.
+   Allow for errors, find a way to mark bad rows.
+   See if during an optimize you can make the table smaller.
+   Talk to the gzip guys, come up with a writable format so that updates are doable
+     without switching to a block method.
