Group File Hierarchy

A TileDB group is a folder with a single file in it:

my_group                       # Group folder
    |_ __tiledb_group.tdb      # Empty group file
    |_ __group                 # Group folder
        |_ <timestamped_name>  # Timestamped group file detailing members
    |_ __meta                  # group metadata folder

File __tiledb_group.tdb is empty and it is merely used to indicate that my_group is a TileDB group.

Inside the group folder, you can find the following:

• Group details folder __group.
• Group metadata folder __meta.
