> Merger.Segment has only the next() method defined which internally calls
> next(key,value) on the underlying IFile stream. This would read both the key
> and the value bytes. It would be good to have Merger.Segment.nextRawKey(),
> that would read only the key and delay reading the value until needed (in
> Merger.MergeQueue.next()) via a new method Merger.Segment.nextRawValue().
> This would mean that we load only one value bytes at a time, and hence would
> incur potentially much less (depending on how big the values are) on the
> memory footprint.
