> SequenceFile will optionally compress individual values.  But both 
> compression and performance would be much better if sequences of keys and 
> values are compressed together.  Sync marks should only be placed between 
> blocks.  This will require some changes to MapFile too, so that all file 
> positions stored there are the positions of blocks, not entries within 
> blocks.  Probably this can be accomplished by adding a 
> getBlockStartPosition() method to SequenceFile.Writer.
