Summary
In this chapter, we saw and went through the implementation details of the isax
Python package, which allows us to create iSAX indexes. Please make sure that you understand the code and most importantly know how to use the code.
Additionally, we implemented many command-line utilities that allow us to create iSAX indexes and understand what happens behind the scenes regarding the splits and subsequence accesses as well as the overflow conditions. Having a better understanding of the structure of an iSAX index allows us to select better indexes and avoid using poor ones.
The next chapter is going to put iSAX indexes into practice by showing how to search and join iSAX indexes.
