Bitmap dumps

With --dump bitmaps, this tool dump bitmap indexes instead of rows. Bitmap dumps generated by this tool include dictionary-encoded string columns only. The output contains a field “bitmapSerdeFactory” describing the type of bitmaps used in the segment, and a field “bitmaps” containing the bitmaps for each value of each column. These are base64 encoded by default, but you can also dump them as lists of row numbers with .

Sample output:
