Reference/es_sdc
struct es_sdc is an opaque data structure representing a compressed string dictionary.
A compressed string dictionary is a compressed, read-only snapshot of an existing string dictionary. It takes-up less memory and is significantly faster at looking up strings, but has the downside that any attempt to lookup a string which does not already exist in the dictionary has undefined behaviour.
The object interface is as follows:
| es_sdc_new | Construct a new compressed string dictionary from an existing string dictionary. |
|---|---|
| es_sdc_delete | Destroy a compressed string dictionary. |
| es_sdc_getid | Retrieve string-id from compressed dictionary by null terminated string. |
| es_sdc_getid_v | Retrieve string-id from compressed dictionary by a string of known length. |
| es_sdc_getmaxid | Retrieve the maximum string-id in compressed dictionary. |
