Hi, @acezen . I think we can highlight the benefits of splitting vertices/edges into chunks and splitting properties into property_groups (why we split that) for a little list, like:
1. Random access querying without reading all data from the file.
2. Appending data without modifying the existing files(or need only modifying the last chunk).
Maybe the third point: convenience for parallel reading.
Looks cool! One question: as I see, Timestamp and Date are already supported in #398, maybe we can update
status.rst
in this PR? Or it will be a separated PR?
Thanks for pointing out, I will update the status.rst
in this PR.
