  1. The purpose of this library is to provide:
  2. * An extensible framework that will support robust spatial indexing
  3. methods.
  4. * Support for sophisticated spatial queries. Range, point location,
  5. nearest neighbor and k-nearest neighbor as well as parametric queries
  6. (defined by spatial constraints) should be easy to deploy and run.
  7. * Easy to use interfaces for inserting, deleting and updating
  8. information.
  9. * Wide variety of customization capabilities. Basic index and storage
  10. characteristics like the page size, node capacity, minimum fan-out,
  11. splitting algorithm, etc. should be easy to customize.
  12. * Index persistence. Internal memory and external memory structures
  13. should be supported. Clustered and non-clustered indices should be
  14. easy to be persisted.
