Create Cells Using Table Order & ADC
For DBMS with good indexing, define Cells by concatenating (4)
Adjoined Dimension Columns and sorting table by this order
Each cell represents unique combination of ADC values (2,7,4,3)
A Where clause with ANDed range predicates on four ADCs, each range
over 3 ADC values, will select 81 cells on the table
Cells Selected will not sit close to each other, except for cells differing
only in the final ADC values, e.g.: (2,7,4,3) and (2,7,4,4)
Obviously this approach doesn’t allow later inserts into given cells
The Vertica DBMS uses this approach, but since new inserts go into
WOS in memory, later merged out to disk ROS, new ad hoc inserts ARE
possible
