Interface RowStore

    public interface RowStore
    extends TableSink
    Describes an object which can be used to store table data. If you have a RowStore you can stream table data into it, and then retrieve it as a random-access StarTable later. This interface abstracts that functionality so you don't need to worry how the storage is handled. You should usually obtain a RowStore instance from a StoragePolicy.
