Michael Dürig commented on OAK-2498:
------------------------------------
At http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1763140&view=rev I simplified the
calculation of the exact segment size. This is now possible we don't have to
track the space required by the roots any more.
> Root record references provide too little context for parsing a segment

>
> According to the [documentation |
> http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/nodestore/segmentmk.html] the root
> record references in a segment header provide enough context for parsing all
> records within this segment without any external information.
> Turns out this is not true: if a root record reference turns e.g. to a list
> record. The items in that list are record ids of unknown type. So even though
> those records might live in the same segment, we can't parse them as we don't
> know their type.
