Meek-Inverted-Index Release Notes --------- March 25th, 2017

v1.0.0

Definition

An Inverted Index is an Index Data Structure storing a mapping from content to location (i.e. a mapping of words or numbers to it's location in a database file). It uses the elastic search method, which is designed to allow very fast full-text searches. This Data Structure is widely used in several scenarios e.g. Cell Phone Lookup (where you have a phonebook which several contacts and you type in a person's number which in turn brings out the contact details of the person associated with that number).
