not sure if i want to add support for that to annoy – strings probably aren't enough, and then you need more complicated data structures etc

byte strings are enough.

I for one wouldn't like Annoy to move toward doubling as a datastore. I really like Annoy's current clear, targeted focus.

@malthe , there are many lightweight ways to supplement the raw ids with additional metadata: built-in dict, built-in shelve/anydbm, sqlitedict, numpy & mmap...

Definitely. Right now I just do it like this:

with open("index.map", "w") as f:
    for i, j, vector in items:
        u.add_item(i, vector)
        f.write(pack('<L', j))

This way I can mmap, or simply seek directly to the vector id – in this example j – from a vector id.

But perhaps Annoy could grow an API to load data from a stream. This way I can wrap the tree data in my own format and only have a single file on disk.
