Michael Dürig commented on OAK-3550:
------------------------------------
Good point. I wasn't decided on that one at first. Now I think we should
feature flag it and enable it for now. This will give us the meta data upfront
during testing. For the 1.4 release we can then take it up again whether or not
to change the default to disabled.
> Add meta data to segments

> 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.
