Introduces ColumnWeights, CountPartials, and BitPartials traits to compute and finalize partial distance matrices. Implements these traits for PersistentBitMatrix, PersistentCompactIntMatrix, and a new LayeredStore<S> wrapper that aggregates metrics across layers via parallel reduction. Adds ndarray for numerical aggregation and updates architecture documentation to reflect the trait-driven design and pending refactoring roadmap.
Introduces `PersistentBitMatrix` and `PersistentCompactIntMatrix` to replace single-file vector storage with a column-major, directory-based layout. Each column is persisted as an individual file alongside a lightweight `meta.json` for dimension tracking. Migrates `obilayeredmap` to use these multi-column structures, updating Rust APIs, query return types, and build signatures. Includes comprehensive documentation, unit and integration tests for persistence and accessors, and refactors distance calculation helpers.
Replace the hardcoded `Counts` module with a generic `LayerData` trait, parameterizing `Layer` and `LayeredMap` over arbitrary payload types. This decouples read-path access from build-path logic, enabling both set membership and count-based indexing via `PersistentCompactIntVec`. Adds the `obicompactvec` dependency, implements streaming layer construction, and expands test coverage for persistence and multi-layer resolution.
Introduce the `obicompactvec` crate, featuring a two-tier, memory-mapped integer vector that uses a primary `u8` array with a sentinel for overflow dispatch and a sparse L1-resident index for fast random access. Implement builder and reader modules with zero-copy serialization and comprehensive test coverage. Update `obilayeredmap` to replace the default hash function with a cache-line-optimized `Mphf`, adding explicit bounds checking and duplicate-slot detection. Add documentation for both modules and update project configuration files accordingly.
Replace `ph` with `ptr_hash` and introduce `epserde` and `rayon` dependencies. Refactor MPHF construction to leverage parallel iteration, eliminating intermediate `Vec<u64>` allocations and reducing memory footprint. Add a `n_kmers` field to track and serialize total kmer counts, alongside three zero-allocation iterators for efficient chunk traversal. Include comprehensive unit tests for the new iterators and update CLAUDE.md to enforce explicit dependency validation policies.
Introduces the `obilayeredmap` crate (v0.1.0), implementing an append-only, disk-backed k-mer index using a minimal perfect hash function (MPHF). The module features memory-mapped reads, buffered writes, custom error handling, partition metadata persistence, and comprehensive unit tests. Also adds a reverse complement benchmark for `obikseq` and updates `Cargo.lock` with the new dependencies.
