Re: Problem following Zinf

Hi,

boost::format is icky -- incorrect use of operator overloading. I 
suggest compose instead:

I'd also suggest neither where appropriate (e.g., debugging messages, 
assertions).

Metakit database. http://www.equi4.com/metakit.html

It's not entirely clear to me why zinf even needs a database for 
metadata.  Considering that the data is inherently flat and there isn't 
a huge amount of it.  A trivial text or XML file would suffice.

Let's say 200 byte[1] of metadata per file, 10000 files (about 60 Gbyte 
worth) which amounts to 2 Mbyte of metadata in total.  A not 
unreasonable amount to keep in core.

[1] A sample of 600 or so oggs I have results in approx 75 bytes of 
metadata per file.
