    public class B2I
    extends BTree
    Implements an instance of a B-Tree secondary index conglomerate. A B2I object has two roles.
    1. The B2I object is stored on disk, and holds the store specific information needed to access/describe the conglomerate. This includes information such as the format ids of the columns, the conglomerate id of the base table, the location of row location column.
    2. Access to all the interfaces start by making a call off the Conglomerate interface. So for instance to get a scan on the conglomerate method openScan should be called.
