Hi Sjoerd,

Thanks for the question. I wrote earlier last night an email to this list, which
I thought covers this.

The answer regarding backward compatibility is:
(1) NO, on repositories created by MonetDB configures with --enable-bits=64
--enable-oid32
(2) YES, in all other cases.

It is my understanding that few people use (1). If the MonetDB team agrees, I
would propose not to take additional migration measures. If otherwise, ie if we
go to a migration anyway, we might also consider changing the new type stridx_t
in the (2) cases from var_t to unsigned short. It reduces the fixed overhead of
string heaps of small bats (2KB instead of 4KB on 32-bits, 8KB on 64 bits). I
refrained from doing so to keep (2) backward compatible.

Peter
