Limitations

This project is early in development, and has many limitations:

• Only serializing the entire HDT file is possible (triple pattern matching is planned for the future)
• Only “Four Part” dictionary encoding is currently supported
• Only “Log64” encoding of bitmap triples values is currently supported
