Abstract: Two-dimensional compressed data sets can be re-aligned while preserving compression of the data. A set of one or more shifts and a corresponding set of one or more first dimension indices into a two-dimensional compressed data set for re-aligning the two-dimensional compressed data set are determined. Impact of re-aligning upon each vector in the second dimension of the two-dimensional compressed data set is determined while the two-dimensional compressed data set remains compressed. New compressed vectors are created in the second dimension resulting from re-aligning. Compression information is modified for each of the original vectors of the two-dimensional compressed data set that remain after re-aligning based, at least in part, on the new compressed vectors. A re-aligned version of the two-dimensional compressed data set is created with the new compressed vectors, and the remaining original vectors with their modified compression information.

Abstract: Compressed data sets can be merged without unraveling the compressed data sets. Concatenations of vectors of a first compressed data set that extend beyond a second compressed data set with no data vectors are represented in a third compressed data set. The no data vectors represent lack of data to be contributed from the second compressed data set. The third compressed data set represents a merger of the first and the second compressed data sets. Counterpart vectors of the first and second compressed data sets are determined using compression information for the vectors. Concatenations of the counterpart vectors are represented in the third compressed data set, as well as compression information that accounts for the determined counterpart vectors.
