Thread-safe kmer and annotation lookup? #10

Thanks so much for the great library, it's helped us quite a bit!

I was wanting to parallelize some of my code but am unsure if the accessor methods are thread-safe.

The specific methods I'm wondering about are:

get_annotation
get_list_id_genomes
get_count_id_genomes
get_kmer

Could you specify if they are thread-safe?

Thanks!

Hi there :)

I'm quite happy the BFT helped you! Unfortunately, the BFT was not implemented as a parallelized library and I'm afraid all the methods you just cited are not thread-safe :(

Best, Guillaume
