KinoSearch1::Store::InvIndex - inverted index
An InvIndex is an abstract representation of an inverted index, KinoSearch1's
core data structure. The archetypal implementation of an invindex, FSInvIndex,
is a single directory holding a collection of files. However, to allow
alternative implementations such as RAMInvIndex, i/o and file manipulation are
abstracted out rather than executed directly by KinoSearch1's classes.
A "file" within an invindex might be a real file -- or
it might be a ram file, or eventually a database record, etc. Similarly,
"$invindex->delete_file($filename)"
might delete a file from the file system, or a key-value pair from a hash,
or something else.
