/** \class THnSparseCoordCompression
THnSparseCoordCompression is a class used by THnSparse internally. It
represents a compacted n-dimensional array of bin coordinates (indices).
As the total number of bins in each dimension is known by THnSparse, bin
indices can be compacted to only use the amount of bins needed by the total
number of bins in each dimension. E.g. for a THnSparse with
{15, 100, 2, 20, 10, 100} bins per dimension, a bin index will only occupy
28 bits (4+7+1+5+4+7), i.e. less than a 32bit integer. The tricky part is
the fast compression and decompression, the platform-independent storage
(think of endianness: the bits of the number 0x123456 depend on the
platform), and the hashing needed by THnSparseArrayChunk.

/** \class THnSparse
    \ingroup Hist
 
Efficient multidimensional histogram.
 
Use a THnSparse instead of TH1 / TH2 / TH3 / array for histogramming when
only a small fraction of bins is filled. A 10-dimensional histogram with 10
bins per dimension has 10^10 bins; in a naive implementation this will not
fit in memory. THnSparse only allocates memory for the bins that have
non-zero bin content instead, drastically reducing both the memory usage
and the access time.
 
To construct a THnSparse object you must use one of its templated, derived
classes:
- THnSparseD (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayD>): bin content held by a Double_t,
- THnSparseF (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayF>): bin content held by a Float_t,
- THnSparseL (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayL>): bin content held by a Long_t,
- THnSparseI (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayI>): bin content held by an Int_t,
- THnSparseS (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayS>): bin content held by a Short_t,
- THnSparseC (typedef for THnSparseT<ArrayC>): bin content held by a Char_t,
 
They take name and title, the number of dimensions, and for each dimension
the number of bins, the minimal, and the maximal value on the dimension's
axis. A TH2 h("h","h",10, 0., 10., 20, -5., 5.) would correspond to
 
    Int_t bins[2] = {10, 20};
    Double_t xmin[2] = {0., -5.};
    Double_t xmax[2] = {10., 5.};
    THnSparseD hs("hs", "hs", 2, bins, xmin, xmax);
 
## Filling
A THnSparse is filled just like a regular histogram, using
THnSparse::Fill(x, weight), where x is a n-dimensional Double_t value.
To take errors into account, Sumw2() must be called before filling the
histogram.
 
Bins are allocated as needed; the status of the allocation can be observed
by GetSparseFractionBins(), GetSparseFractionMem().
 
## Fast Bin Content Access
When iterating over a THnSparse one should only look at filled bins to save
processing time. The number of filled bins is returned by
THnSparse::GetNbins(); the bin content for each (linear) bin number can
be retrieved by THnSparse::GetBinContent(linidx, (Int_t*)coord).
After the call, coord will contain the bin coordinate of each axis for the bin
with linear index linidx. A possible call would be
 
   std::cout << hs.GetBinContent(0, coord);
   std::cout <<" is the content of bin [x = " << coord[0] "
        << " | y = " << coord[1] << "]" << std::endl;
 
## Efficiency
TH1 and TH2 are generally faster than THnSparse for one and two dimensional
distributions. THnSparse becomes competitive for a sparsely filled TH3
with large numbers of bins per dimension. The tutorial sparsehist.C
shows the turning point. On a AMD64 with 8GB memory, THnSparse "wins"
starting with a TH3 with 30 bins per dimension. Using a THnSparse for a
one-dimensional histogram is only reasonable if it has a huge number of bins.
 
## Projections
The dimensionality of a THnSparse can be reduced by projecting it to
1, 2, 3, or n dimensions, which can be represented by a TH1, TH2, TH3, or
a THnSparse. See the Projection() members. To only project parts of the
histogram, call
 
    THnSparse::GetAxis(12)->SetRange(from_bin, to_bin);
 
## Internal Representation
An entry for a filled bin consists of its n-dimensional coordinates and
its bin content. The coordinates are compacted to use as few bits as
possible; e.g. a histogram with 10 bins in x and 20 bins in y will only
use 4 bits for the x representation and 5 bits for the y representation.
This is handled by the internal class THnSparseCompactBinCoord.
Bin data (content and coordinates) are allocated in chunks of size
fChunkSize; this parameter can be set when constructing a THnSparse. Each
chunk is represented by an object of class THnSparseArrayChunk.
 
Translation from an n-dimensional bin coordinate to the linear index within
the chunks is done by GetBin(). It creates a hash from the compacted bin
coordinates (the hash of a bin coordinate is the compacted coordinate itself
if it takes less than 8 bytes, the size of a Long64_t.
This hash is used to lookup the linear index in the TExMap member fBins;
the coordinates of the entry fBins points to is compared to the coordinates
passed to GetBin(). If they do not match, these two coordinates have the same
hash - which is extremely unlikely but (for the case where the compact bin
coordinates are larger than 4 bytes) possible. In this case, fBinsContinued
contains a chain of linear indexes with the same hash. Iterating through this
chain and comparing each bin coordinates with the one passed to GetBin() will
retrieve the matching bin.
