  @moduledoc """
  ETS, an Elixir wrapper for Erlang's [`:ets`](http://erlang.org/doc/man/ets.html) module.

  See `ETS.Set` for information on creating and managing Sets, and `ETS.Bag` for information on creating and managing Bags.

  See `ETS.KeyValueSet` for an abstraction which provides standard key/value interaction with Sets.

  ## What type of `ETS` table should I use?

  ## Set

  If you need your key column to be unique, then you should use a Set. If you just want a simple key/value store,
  then use an `ETS.KeyValueSet`, but if you want to store full tuple records, use an `ETS.Set`. If you want your
  records ordered by key value, which adds some performance overhead on insertion, set `ordered: true` when creating the Set (defaults to false).

  ## Bag

  If you do not need your key column to be unique, then you should use an `ETS.Bag`, and if you want to prevent exact duplicate
  records from being inserted, which adds some performance overhead on insertion, set duplicate: false when creating the Bag
  (defaults to true).
