Hi,
1. An index page contains the hash value of key and a link; where a link is page_id + offset. Question: what is this offset? Is it the offset to the item in the data page? In other words, Ignite locates the page and the item within the page and finally gets the key-value pair by following the item? 2. The design doc below states that the item serves as an internal reference (offset) to the key value pair. Does the item has information about the size of the key-value is it pointing to? If not, how does it now the size of the key-value. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/Ignite+Durable+Memory+-+under+the+hood Thanks, John
