Why these three data structures? The dictionary simply maps string
values to integer ids so that the values in 2 and 3 can be
represented compactly. The bitmaps in 3 -- also known as *inverted
values to integer ids so that the values in \(2\) and \(3\) can be
represented compactly. The bitmaps in \(3\) -- also known as *inverted
indexes* allow for quick filtering operations (specifically, bitmaps
are convenient for quickly applying AND and OR operators). Finally,
the list of values in 2 is needed for *group by* and *TopN*
the list of values in \(2\) is needed for *group by* and *TopN*
queries. In other words, queries that solely aggregate metrics based
on filters do not need to touch the list of dimension values stored in 2.

To get a concrete sense of these data structures, consider the page
column from the example data above. The three data structures that
