Table storage
We need to update the table storage format in order to allow more modular tables. See my suggestion for a new format here.
In addition, I would like to introduce an option to link to other table folders, so that we don't have to copy tables between versions if they haven't changed. I can think of two options for this:
- Use filesystem links. I am not sure how well this works cross-platform. I have just tried it when mounting the group-share under windows and it seems to work, but I don't know if we want to rely on that.
- Use file containing absolute path: Instead of having a folder
tables/segmentation_name
, we could have a file which contains the absolute path to some other tables folder. This could be a plain text file or json etc.
@tischer let me know what you think.
