The chapter on indexing methods was interesting. I like reading about the different methods and about the hardware constraints on indexing. I am not clear, though, on what the practical implications of these hardware constraints are. Clearly we are talking about fractions of seconds difference among indexing methods, and these add up to be significant issues, but what types of real-world differences are we talking about?
As for the compression chapter. Not much to say here.
I am enjoying this class greatly!
