Abstract
A data format is optimized for storing data such as website traffic data. The data format enables easy access to and filtering of data, for example in generating website traffic reports. The data format also provides significant data compression. A method for generating a data file according to the data format employs linear compression and indexing to efficiently store the data. Data stored according to the format can be easily retrieved, particularly when a known value is specified and particular entries matching the known value are sought.
