The Interval B+ tree (IB+ tree) is a valid-time indexing structure, first introduced by Bozkaya and Ozsoyoglu. This indexing structure appears as a time-efficient indexing structure for the management of valid-time/ intervals. In this repository, we present its implementation.

This structure performs all operations (insertion, search and deletion) with logarithmic performance (O (log n)).

To suit the IBplusTree to your needs, implement a class that extends the FlatInterval class, defining the information that will be stored on leaves there. One might also want to override the equals method, thus allowing the incorporation of the extra information stored in the Intervals in comparisons.
