// <etymology>
// TiledDataStMan is the Tiled Storage Manager for general
// data arrays.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// TiledDataStMan is a derivation from TiledStMan, the abstract
// tiled storage manager class. A description of the basics
// of tiled storage managers is given in the
// <linkto module=Tables:TiledStMan>Tables module</linkto> description.
// <p>
// TiledDataStMan allows the user explicit control over the
// definition and extension of hypercubes by means of the accessor
// class <linkto class=TiledDataStManAccessor>TiledDataStManAccessor</linkto>.
// The user can determine which row should be put in which hypercube,
// so it is possible to put row 0-9 in hypercube A, row 10-29 in B,
// row 30-39 in A again, etc.. This makes it possible to use a tiled
// storage manager for a data column containing data with
// different shapes (e.g. line and continuum data). Actually,
// this storage manager is developed for irregularly shaped
// UV-data, but can be used for any purpose.
// <br>
// Each extensible hypercube uses a file of its own. This means that there
// shouldn't be too many of them, otherwise the number of files may
// get too high.
// <p>
// The TiledDataStMan has the following (extra) properties:
// <ul>
//  <li> When multiple hypercubes are used, one or more id columns have
//       to be used to differentiate between them. The id values must
//       be defined when the hypercube gets added; they cannot be put
//       explicitly.
//  <li> A hypercube can be extensible in its last dimension by setting
//       its last dimension to zero. In that case extendHypercube can
//       be used to extend the hypercube when needed.
//       All fixed sized hypercubes are stored in one file, while there
//       is one file per extensible hypercube.
//  <li> The table must be large enough to accommodate the addition
//       or extension of a hypercube. This means that a sufficient
//       number of rows must be added to the table before a hypercube
//       can be added or extended. It is the responsibility of the user
//       to "synchronize" addition of rows and hypercubes.
//  <li> It is possible to define coordinates for the hypercube axes
//       in several ways:
//       <ul>
//        <li> Use the TiledDataStMan storage manager to hold their values
//             and define the coordinates when adding or extending the
//             hypercube. This is the preferred way.
//        <li> As above, but use explicit puts to write their values.
//             This has to be used when coordinates are defined after
//             the hypercube has been added or extended.
//             Note that several rows may share the same value, so
//             overwriting a value may affect multiple rows.
//        <li> Use another storage manager to hold their values.
//             This is useful when their values depend on other axes,
//             because that cannot be handled by TiledDataStMan.
//       </ul>
//       Note that it is possible to store one coordinate column with
//       TiledDataStMan and another with another storage manager.
// </ul>
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// This tiled storage manager allows one to create and extend hypercubes
// as needed. One has complete control over which row is stored in which
// hypercube.
// </motivation>

// <example>
// The following example shows how to create a TiledDataStMan tiled
// storage manager using the hypercolumn as defined in the table description.
// Furthermore it shows how to use TiledDataStManAccessor
// to add a hypercube, while defining its tile shape, coordinates,
// and id-value.
// The example shows that reading the data back does not require any knowledge
// of the data manager. It's exactly the same if another data manager was used.
// <br>
// The table created contains the equally shaped data columns "Data" and
// "Weight".
// Each cell in those columns contains a 2D array with shape [12,20]. The
// coordinates of those arrays are "Pol" and "Freq".
// The tiled storage manager superimposes two more axes ("Baseline"and "Time")
// on the data resulting in a 4D hypercube with shape [12,20,30,42].
// The table contains 42*30 rows (which has to be equal to the number of
// elements in the superimposed axes).
// <br>
// The tile shape of the hypercube is (arbitrarily) set to [4,5,6,7].
// Of course, any tile shape could be chosen. This tile shape results
// in a tile size of 6720 bytes (4*5*6*7 *(4+4) bytes), which is not
// that large (32768 as tile size is very reasonable). The number of tiles
// is integral in each dimension, so no space is wasted.
// Finally it makes access along the various axes about equally efficient.
// <br>
// Although in this example only one hypercube is added, multiple hypercubes
// are possible, because an id column has been defined. 
// <note role=caution>
// The example uses the global Array function indgen to fill the data
// and coordinate arrays with arbitrary values.
// </note>
// Note that the description of class
// <linkto class=ROTiledStManAccessor>ROTiledStManAccessor</linkto>
// contains a discussion about the effect of setting the maximum cache size.
//
// <srcblock>
//  // Define the table description and the columns in it.
//  TableDesc td ("", "1", TableDesc::Scratch);
//  td.addColumn (ScalarColumnDesc<float>  ("Time"));
//  td.addColumn (ScalarColumnDesc<float>  ("Baseline"));
//  td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>   ("Pol", 1));
//  td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>   ("Freq", 1));
//  td.addColumn (ScalarColumnDesc<String> ("Id"));
//  td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>   ("Data", 2));
//  td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>   ("Weight", 2));

//  td.defineHypercolumn ("TSMExample",
//			  4,
//			  stringToVector ("Data,Weight"),
//			  stringToVector ("Pol,Freq,Baseline,Time"),
//			  stringToVector ("Id"));
//  
//  // Now create a new table from the description.
//  SetupNewTable newtab("tTiledDataStMan_tmp.data", td, Table::New);
//  // Create a TiledDataStMan storage manager for the hypercolumn
//  // and bind the columns to it.
//  TiledDataStMan sm1 ("TSMExample");
//  newtab.bindAll (sm1);

//  Table table(newtab, 42*30);
//  // Create the accessor to be able to add a hypercube to this
//  // storage manager.
//  TiledDataStManAccessor accessor(table, "TSMExample");

//  // Now add the hypercube with the given shape, tile shape,
//  // and coordinate and id values.

//  ArrayColumn<float> weight (table, "Weight");
//  Matrix<float> array(IPosition(2,12,20));
//  indgen (array);
//  // Write some data into the data columns.
//  for (uInt i=0; i<30*42; i++) {
//	data.put (i, array);
//	weight.put (i, array+float(100));
//	array += float(200);
//  }
//  // Prepare for reading the data back.
//  // Note that time and baseline are in fact scalar columns. They are
//  // superimposed dimensions on the hypercube.
//  ScalarColumn<float> time (table, "Time");
//  ScalarColumn<float> baseline (table, "Baseline");

//  float fValue;

//      baseline.get (i, fValue);
//      time.get (i, fValue);
//      id.get (i, sValue);
//  }
// </srcblock>
// Note that in this example an id column was not necessary, because
// there is only one hypercube.
// <p>
// The following example is more advanced. Two (extensible) hypercubes
// are used for line and continuum data. Writing such a data set
// could be done as shown. Reading it back is the same as above.
// <br>
// In this example the data columns contain line and continuum data.
// So there are two types of data, each with their own shape and
// stored in their own (extensible) hypercube. Note that the last
// dimension of the hypercube shape is set to zero (to make extensible),
// but the last tile shape dimension has been filled in,
// because the exact tile shape must be known.
// <br>
// Before each put of the data the appropriate hypercube is extended.
// Also the time has to be put, which is done (as an example) in
// two different ways (using an explicit put and using the extendHypercube).
//
// <srcblock>
//  // Defining TableDesc and storage manager is same as in first example.
//  // Create the table.
//  Table table(newtab);
//  // Create the accessor to be able to add the hypercubes to this
//  // storage manager.
//  TiledDataStManAccessor accessor(table, "TSMExample");
