Add StringIndex support in Python/C++ #11

Open markkohdev opened 1 year ago

markkohdev commented 1 year ago

The java bindings currently support a StringIndex class which wraps the Index class but adds a mapping of strings to index integer IDs. This is a handy piece of functionality which would be beneficial and should be fairly straightforward to implement in the Python bindings

Additionally, we should support string index containment checking with this python StringIndex as well so that we can write things like

if "some-string-key" in my_index:
  # Do something
