Alex Parvulescu commented on OAK-3550:
--------------------------------------
would it make sense to wrap the SegmentWriter bits (the ones that actually
persist this info) into a feature flag so we can disable it if needed, or
better put, only enable it when we run some debugging/longevity tests?
otherwise it looks good.
> Add meta data to segments

> Issue Type: New Feature

> For various kinds of tooling it would be good to have additional meta data
> available within segments. Like which segment writer wrote (i.e. system or
> compaction) the segment, a time stamp, the revision gc generation etc.
> Such meta data could live in a regular String record right at the beginning
> of the segment. As such it would always occupy the first slot of the root
> records and would be very easy to get to in tooling. Additionally it would be
> written as regular content and thus wouldn't require any changes in the
> segment format.
